You enjoy turning plans into action, are skilled in time management and know how to delegate within a team. In your research work, you are investigative, challenging and analytical, yet maintain a self-critical distance and are able to present a balanced “full picture”. As a researcher, you are a generalist interested in multiple topics connected to the work. You possess strong interpersonal skills and effectively navigate cultural nuances with sensitivity when interviewing candidates for the Award with diverse origins and backgrounds.
