I am currently the lecturer for the Academy of Finland Flagship project INVEST. My responsibilities include the design and implementation of the curriculum of the new Masters and Doctoral Programme. This includes the development of several new courses in the social sciences such as the Finnish Welfare State in Comparison, Prevention and Intervention research, the research themes of INVEST, multivariate research methods and the organisation and development of advanced research methods for social scientists. Prior to this I was the quantitative research methods lecturer for the Social Research Department at the University of Turku from September 2018-August 2019. This position involved teaching at both at the postgraduate and undergraduate level. The courses I taught included multivariate research methods, graphs and interactions, multilevel modeling, additionally I was the responsible for coordinating courses on Finnish institutions and society and theoretical approaches in the social sciences.
