Emma Ling is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo with eight years of experience at the intersection of global health governance, philanthropy, and international policy. Her work combines rigorous social science training—MAs from Edinburgh and King's Department of War Studies—with hands-on research roles in global health politics and fundraising and partnerships experience in the nonprofit sector. She has navigated academia and practice, translating research on philanthropic actors into policy-relevant insights while managing stakeholder relationships at organizations like Index on Censorship. Based in Oslo, Emma brings a comparative, policy-oriented perspective shaped by placements in diplomacy, conferences, and field-facing roles. Colleagues describe her as both analytically precise and skilled at operationalizing research into funded projects and collaborations. Her background suggests an uncommon blend of grant-focused fundraising savvy and deep academic expertise in global health political economy.
