Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, more than 7,000 employees and a turnover of around SEK 7 billion.

SciLifeLab (www.scilifelab.se ) is a hub for life science research in Sweden and a collaboration between KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm University and Uppsala University, with additional sites at other major Swedish universities. Everyone at SciLifeLab are employed at one of the partner universities. Since 2013, SciLifeLab has a government assignment as a national infrastructure, to provide cutting-edge life science technologies and -expertise to Swedish researchers, and to be a top international centre for research in health- and environment sciences. SciLifeLab is also hosting a national COVID-19 research program and a new large initiative for Data-Driven Life Sciences, with eleven partner organisations.

The successful candidate will be working at the SciLifeLab Data Centre, a central unit with responsibility for IT- and data management issues, serving the SciLifeLab and the Data Driven Life Science (DDLS) research program. We have a national assignment and, for example, operate the Swedish national Covid-19 research data portal.
