Data Engineer - Basel, Schweiz - Universität Basel
Beschreibung
Data Engineer (Application Specialist)
The University of Basel is the oldest university in Switzerland and is ranked among the best in the world due to its research achievements. It counts over 12,000 students and 5,000 scientists in 7 faculties active in domains from humanities and social sciences to natural sciences. Research at university is increasingly data-driven and thus requires state-of-the-art services to support data-science applications, often with transdisciplinary approaches. sciCORE is the center for scientific computing offering the infrastructure and expertise to facilitate data-driven research.As part of its support activities, sciCORE is maintaining various data management systems, offered as a service to streamline the data life cycle in research projects. We are in particular consolidating an environment, based on the data management system LabKey, to integrate data and metadata from several technology platforms at the university (sequencing, proteomics, biobanks, imaging, etc.) with other structured data generated in research projects. Although sciCORE is rooted in life sciences, we are opening our data management service to other domains working with structured data. To ensure efficient use of the platform, projects often need support to structure data and need to be trained with the usage of the platform.
To maintain and extend support to projects using the LabKey environment, we are seeking a dedicated Data engineer (Application Specialist) (80% - 100%) to strengthen our team.
Our new collaborator will work in a small team of data management and IT specialists, and will be the service owner of the data management platform. The Application Specialist will consult on data models with projects using the platform and support their implementation, will develop an internal training program, and will ensure level-1 support. The software and associated processes will enable and maintain best practices in scientific data management, such as FAIR principles, thus contributing to the high quality of research at University of Basel.
Your position

We support our team members in their own training, networking, and career development. The initial contract is for 2 years, with the possibility to extend to a long-term contract subject to successful performance evaluations.The University of Basel is an equal-opportunity and family-friendly employer committed to excellence through diversity.
