Etter doktorgraden gjennomførte hun et treårig postdoktorprosjekt ved UiT (2019-2022) om forholdet mellom frivillighet og livskvalitet. Hennes tidligere forskning omhandler primært motivasjon, opplevelseskvaliteter og livskvalitet med prosjekter på fysisk aktivitet, måloppnåelse, frivillighet og donasjon. I senere tid har hun også vært involvert i prosjekter om maskulinitet, likestilling, vold i nære relasjoner, flyktninghelse, folkehelse, og samproduksjon/samskaping. Thorsteinsen har primært metodisk ekspertise innenfor kvantitativ forskning og har blant annet erfaring med psykologiske eksperiment, (intensive) longitudinelle studier, tversnittsundersøkelser og registerdatastudier. Hun har i tillegg noe erfaring med kvalitativ forskning.
