Data Manager (0.8-1.0 FTE)

Do you enjoy advising colleagues who have questions in the area of data management, information security & privacy? And do you see it as a challenge to further develop, shape and implement the processes in this area within our department of Information and Computing Sciences? Then we are looking for you!

The position of Data Manager is new within our department, so it is up to you to further shape this position with a lot of creativity and your own input.

You will have the opportunity to attend training courses, workshops and conferences, which will allow you to develop yourself and advise our employees even better. You will advise colleagues and help them to make choices on a technological and procedural level. 

What will you do as data manager? Consider the following activities:

• You advise on, develop, and support processes and systems for data creation, management, and reuse (stimulating Open Science and FAIR data).
• You create data management plans for common data types and support staff in writing and implementing data management plans.
• You supervise and provide training on data management (storage, maintenance, risk management, documentation, access, search) for staff and students.
• You develop and maintain a data versioning and access control system and processes for data management.
• You ensure that all produced data is archived (with documentation and source code).
