Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked among the world's leading academic institutions. We have approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and the human condition. About the WorkplaceSciLifeLab (www.scilifelab.se), founded in 2010, is a hub for life science research in Sweden and a collaboration between Swedish universities. The employee will work at SciLifeLab Data Centre (DC), which is responsible for IT issues and research data management for SciLifeLab's technology platforms and other SciLifeLab-organized programs and activities, including the national research program for data-driven life science (DDLS). We have a national mission and operate services for life science data and e-infrastructure, as well as matters related to FAIR principles, open science, and data-driven research, in strong collaboration with national and international actors. With us, you have the opportunity to actively shape how IT is integrated into the future of health and environmental research, and work to promote openness, reproducibility, and maximum scientific impact from the large volumes of research data generated in the field. You will work with researchers, data engineers, data stewards, and systems developers in a rapidly growing, dynamic, and progressive team with a leading role in the country. The position is placed at Lund University, within SciLifeLab's Lund organizational unit, with reporting directly to its director. The work is led by the director of SciLifeLab Data Centre. Duties and ResponsibilitiesSciLifeLab Data Centre (DC) is seeking a manager for our scientific data services operational area. The area currently employs approximately 20 systems developers and data engineers located at several of our partner universities, focusing on the development, operation, and support of data services with scientific and bioinformatic content, such as for AI models and computational applications, FAIR sharing of research data for infectious diseases, biodiversity, image data, cell and molecular biology, etc. Services are developed based on needs from SciLifeLab's users and as part of SciLifeLab Data Centre's mission as a digital infrastructure provider. The work targets users within national infrastructure as well as within the Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program and Swedish life science researchers in general. A focus for the coming years is to build common integrative services for multimodal data generated at SciLifeLab's infrastructure platforms. As the manager of this area, you will be responsible for personnel and financial matters for the operational area, participate in our management group, and coordinate work within the area with other operational areas at DC. This includes, for example, areas for research data management, IT, and service management. You will also play a key role in DC's strategic work within SciLifeLab for digital infrastructure, and in our collaboration efforts with university administration, other national infrastructures (such as NAISS, SUNET, and SND), and international partners (such as EMBL, CSC, CERN, and VIB).

You are expected to have extensive and international experience as a manager and researcher in bioinformatics and life science infrastructures, and to be able to take an active and leading role in developing and managing operations and organization within DC. You need to have strong personal experience as a researcher. A high ability to collaborate and communicate is required both as part of the management team, towards collaborating partners, and towards user groups.
