Interest signalled for being Ombudsmann for scientific integrity; deemed qualified but not chosen

Some time back, I expressed interest in being the University of Stavanger´s new Ombudsman for scientific integrity (in Norwegian: Vitenskapsombud), after professor Geir Skeie. Last week I was in for an interview. Although I was considered qualified, I was not chosen for the function.
