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. Position 1: Data Steward -------------------------------- The data steward is responsible for the management and usability of data and metadata. You will have a specialist role that incorporates (AMC) processes, policies, guidelines, and (data)standards for data management in compliance with regulatory obligations (e.g., security and privacy of information). You will be responsible for defining and implementing new guidelines and data standards to safeguard the integrity and quality of the (meta)data. You contribute to the organization of existing and new (meta)data using available tools, data repositories, and infrastructures. This will involve the development of software for, for example, data conversion, data import, and use of data standards. It also involves the support of end-users with data management to ensure broad adoption of RDM in the AMC. The data steward contributes to the development of RDM solutions. This includes the design, development and deployment of science gateways using the Rosemary platform . The data steward also participates in (inter)national RDM initiatives, project meetings, and training events for the stakeholders. The data steward will report (written and oral) about the project to the project leaders. He/she will also contribute to system management.
