Description of the workplace
SciLifeLab, Science for Life Laboratory, is a national research infrastructure for molecular life sciences and is one of the government's major investments in research infrastructures in Sweden. SciLifeLab's overall vision is to enable ground-breaking, multidisciplinary research that would otherwise not be possible in Sweden, and to promote that the research leads to societal utility. SciLifeLab consists of ten technology platforms with activities at eleven different universities across the country. Five of the platforms currently include activities at Lund University (LU), focusing on different areas, including genomics, structural biology, drug development and bioinformatics.
To increase SciLifeLab visibility and to emphasize its role as a national resource, the SciLifeLab board decided in 2021 to establish national sites at four universities outside the host universities in the capital region, one of these are located in Lund. The purpose of the SciLifeLab site is to constitute a coordinating umbrella unit, through which SciLifeLab associated and other nationally relevant research infrastructures in Lund can collaborate with leading research infrastructures across the country, as well as to increase knowledge about these for local and national researchers.
We are now looking for a driven, communicative and team-oriented coordinator who wants to play a key role in building LU's SciLifeLab site, thereby further strengthening research infrastructures at LU as well as nationally. As a workplace, we protect a good working environment with respect and consideration in our relationships with each other.

Work duties and areas of responsibility
The role of the coordinator is key to establising the SciLifeLab site in Lund and is based on a close collaboration with the director. Locally, you will also work together with a IT/data manager who will be recruited to the site in 2023, as well as with the operative managers for the included research infrastructures. Nationally, you will collaborate with the other SciLifeLab sites in Sweden, with the technology platforms, and with the SciLifeLab Data Centre. Through this network, you will contribute to building a structure for improved collaboration between, and visibility of, infrastructures - both locally and nationally.
Another important part of the position is to create synergies between the site and SciLifeLab's Data Driven Life Science (DDLS) program, a national flagship project, connected to which a large number of researchers will be affiliated to SciLifeLab in different profile areas.
