From 2007 to 2011 he worked as an associate professor in philosophy of science at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences. He has also worked as an assistant professor at the University of Lorraine in France (2001-2002) and as a senior adviser in Norad's evaluation department (2006-2009).[4] He has been a board member of the International Society for Cultural History and the alternate Norwegian Member of the Helsinki Group on Gender in Research and Innovation.[5][6] In 2016-2017 Engebretsen was member of one of the expert groups for the interim evaluation of the European research programme, Horizon 2020.[7][8] From 2015 to 2019 he was the Research Director at the Faculty of Medicine with the academic responsibility for the first medical postdoctoral training programme in Norway.[9][10]

Research

Engebretsen's area of interest is knowledge trajectories and decision making in health care. His current research is concerned with the discourse of ‘knowledge translation’ and how this discourse might be expanded by drawing on theories of translation from linguistics, philosophy and anthropology.[11] His work in this area has created international debate.[12][13]

Together with the philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva, Engebretsen has advocated a "new medical humanities" that not only considers the humanities as a corrective to biomedicine, but as a fundamental challenge to the whole distinction between medicine and the humanities.[14]

Engebretsen's research and publishing activities are characterized by border crossing and bridging between different scientific disciplines. He has published more than 100 scientific publications, including articles in renowned scientific journals such as the Lancet, the BMJ and Social History. He has also written and edited several books.[15]
