ABOUT US…

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg. We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic and in silico. We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their contributing factors.
The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines: computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary and together we contribute to science and society.
As a pioneer in its field, the LCSB manages high amounts of data and provides various management services enabling fast scientific advancement in the data driven era. We are looking for a motivated DevOps engineer to work on solutions for efficient and secure storage, management and sharing of data and metadata during all phases of data lifecycle. The main challenge will be the integration and maintenance of dedicated open-source data management software in the current infrastructure enabling data virtualization, discovery, workflow automation and secure collaboration.

The hired candidate is expected to participate in the design and development of the solution in close collaboration with system administrators and Responsible Reproducible Research (R3) team. The candidate will be supported in further skill development based on the requirements of adopted solutions.

Your main tasks will be to

• Deploy, integrate and maintain the open-source data management software iRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) within the current LCSB infrastructure
• Link existing tools while ensuring security and compliance to data protection standards (authentication, encryption, key management, logging)
• Propose creative and practical solutions to simplify and automate processes
• Use standard DevSecOps practices for continuous integration and deployment of the solution
• Write and maintaining formal documentation for technical procedures
• Support colleagues in implementation of data management policies
• Join the established iRODS community and attend conferences and training events to support your continuous skill development and improvement
• Contribute to research and developments towards novel IT solutions in research data management, research reproducibility and data protection.
• Support the staff by engaging into periodic trainings on iRODS usage and capabilities
