System engineer at LUDC - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of workplace

The Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC; www.ludc.lu.se) opens a position for a computer system engineer. LUDC is one of the largest diabetes research centres in the world with approximately 300 investigators and staff members working towards improved diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diabetes. The centre combines expertise in genetics, epidemiology, statistics, bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology and clinical diabetes, and endocrinology to achieve these goals. LUDC has large unique biobanks and databases with genome-wide data linked to national registries providing information on disease etiology, progression as well as outcome and treatment. The centre has in-house platforms for most molecular genetic methods and metabolomics. Omics-information combined with extensive phenotyping allows a systems medicine approach to dissect the complexity of diabetes. A central theme at LUDC is to develop precision medicine to improve health and the quality of life of patients with diabetes.

Duties and areas of responsibility

The successful applicant will be part of the Bioinformatics Unit at LUDC, which includes several bioinformaticians, a biostatistician, a data manager, and another computer system engineer (https://www.ludc.lu.se/resources/ludc-bioinformatics-unit). The Unit provides bioinformatics, biostatistics, and computational support to anyone affiliated with LUDC, as well as access to a high-performance computing environment.

A successful computer system engineer candidate will primarily, together with our current computer system engineer, help run our Linux-based server and HPC environment for LUDC. In addition to this management and daily activities, the candidate will be involved in various projects and is expected to be able to provide support to the research groups at LUDC as and when needed.
