Datamanager

Örebro university seeks a datamanager at the School of Medical Sciences.

Biomedical research at both Örebro University and Örebro University Hospital is continuously producing large amounts of both clinical and often high-dimensional molecular data from a diversity of clinical, biomedical, molecular biological and biochemical studies, in a truly interdisciplinary approach. Your position will provide an indispensable infrastructure service, with the possibility to get further involved into exciting research projects yourself, in terms of data management. It is closely integrated with a similar position at the School of Science and Technology and with the IT department at Örebro University.

Duties and responsibilities
Duties and responsibilities include further development of a sustainable database infrastructure for biomedical research at Örebro University. The daily work includes database curation, documented data formatting and cleaning, data integration, and data digitalization of clinical and molecular data in biomedical research and clinical studies. A core part of this work is the communication with the different participating researchers, to convert an understanding of the data into appropriate data structures for database input, output, and for subsequent analysis.

Qualifications
The person we are looking for has studied computer science on Master of Science level (or a similar education) and has experience with open-source database management/development as well as script programming on a Linux background. A core qualification also includes knowledge about and experience to work with biomedical data. The position is service-oriented and therefore requires excellent communication capabilities, oral and in writing, both in Swedish and English.

Your skills should include experience in communicating with researchers in the fields of medicine and biomedicine.

Close attention will be paid to your personal qualities, your ability to perform duties autonomously, your interpersonal skills and ability to cooperate, as well as your ability to relate to people in a way that inspires trust and confidence. We expect you to be flexible and open to change with the ability to assume a quality-conscious and responsible approach towards your duties.

At Örebro University, we expect employee-ship that is characterised by courage, responsibility, commitment and respect. Courage to be open to development and change; responsibility for one’s own performance and its quality; commitment to collaboration and to contributing to growth; as well as respect by means of a constructive attitude and a professional approach to duties and to fellow employees.

Equality
Our ambition is to create a place of work that is characterised by gender equality and diversity.

Information
The position is a full-time permanent position to be filled as soon as possible.

Positions announced at Örebro University are, where appropriate, subject to a trial period. The salary depends on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience.
