Anna Nyberg is a Licensed Psychologist and Associate Professor in psychology, working in the Epidemiology unit at the Stress Research Institute.

One of her main research areas concerns how leadership in the workplace is associated with stress, health, and health-related consequences among employees. In 2014-2017 she led a project financed by FORTE investigating the work situation, health and career development of female managers. During 2017-2019, she is running two projects investigating the causes of increased mental ill-health and sickness absence among employees working in female-dominated workplaces and occupations. The projects focus on organisational and psychosocial work factors as well as factors in unpaid domestic work. In 2019-2021 she is leading a project financed by FORTE on antecedents and health consequences of gender-based harassment. In her current research Anna primarily uses data from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH).

In addition to her research work, Anna’s background is in clinical occupational health psychology and human resources consultancy.
