<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently the AMC has funded a project to implement Research Data Management (RDM) for biomedical research. The project aims to setup an infrastructure for RDM and involves interactions with a large number of local, national and international
initiatives and stakeholders in the active field of RDM. For this project we are looking for a data steward and a scientific programmer who will work in a multidisciplinary research team at the Academic Medical Center (AMC) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA)
to design, develop, validate and disseminate the application of data research management practices into biomedical research.
