• Implement, configure and maintain scientific applications supporting Global Research.
• Work with researchers to understand scientific workflows and translate research needs into practical digital solutions.
• Support application lifecycle management, testing, documentation and user support.
• Collaborate with colleagues across EDE and technology vendors to continuously improve the scientific application landscape.

Connect research data

• Contribute to connecting research data across the digital research landscape.
• Implement and support data flows, metadata models and integrations between scientific applications.
• Apply FAIR data principles to improve the quality, accessibility and reuse of research data.
• Help establish trusted research data that supports today's science and tomorrow's advanced analytics and AI.

Improve digital research

• Identify opportunities to improve scientific workflows through better digital solutions.
• Participate in implementation of new technologies and enhancements to existing platforms.
• Contribute to testing, training and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate across Research, EDE and external partners to continuously improve the digital research environment.

Your future team

Research Informatics is a collaborative team with expertise spanning life sciences, laboratory informatics, research data management and digital technologies.

Together we build and continuously improve the scientific systems, research data and digital workflows that underpin discovery research. We combine scientific understanding with technical expertise to ensure our digital capabilities evolve alongside the science they support.

The position is based at Lundbeck Headquarters in Valby.
