 * Helping shape strategic decisions about the future of our IT environment for scientific research;
 * Resolving tickets and supporting users in working with the data infrastructure;
 * Contributing to innovative ICT projects and developing new solutions;
 * Working together with internal colleagues and external suppliers on the quality and efficiency of our ICT systems.
