About this role
**Research Data Advisor with a Focus on Communication**
Would you like to work on research data issues at Northern Europe's leading technical university? We are now seeking a Research Data Advisor with a focus on communication for the Digital Research Collaborative Hub at KTH.
**About Us**
The Digital Research Collaborative Hub is a newly established collaborative space between faculty and operational support at KTH, aimed at supporting increasingly data-driven and digital research. The focus of the hub is on guidance and training related to digital services, data, and infrastructure for research, as well as providing access to these resources.
The Digital Research Collaborative Hub is administratively located at KTH Library. At KTH Library, approximately 50 employees work to support KTH's students and researchers. We are situated on the beautiful KTH Campus Vallhallavägen.
**Responsibilities**

The scope of the various tasks may change over time based on the development of the hub.
We are looking for someone who, in addition to specialized knowledge in research data issues, also has a strong ability to take initiative and drive their own processes. You are adept at establishing new contacts and maintaining them. Additionally, you possess strong communication skills in both spoken and written Swedish and English.

- A position at a leading technical university that creates knowledge and competence for a sustainable future.
- A creative, international, and dynamic environment.
