  • Jeg startet doktorgradsstudiene høsten 1995 etter å ha jobbet som dyrlege i kombinert praksis siden 1990.

    Fra 2000 til 2006 jobbet jeg som førsteamanuensis ved Ambulatorisk klinikk på Veterinærhøgskolen

    Jeg ble professor i reproduksjon og obstetrikk hos store dyr i 2006.

    Jeg har vært instituttstyrer for Institutt for produksjonsdyrmedisin ved Veterinærhøgskolen i to perioder (2010-2014) og (2018-2021)
