Job Description The Research and Evaluation Section (FoU) is seeking investigators specializing in data management and microdata. Here, you will work at the intersection of research, analysis, and organizational development. As an investigator, you will work closely with researchers, analysts, and other investigators on the agency's microdata – data that forms the basis for research, follow-up, and development of SiS activities.

Your tasks include data extraction for researchers, conducting confidentiality assessments for data release, performing statistical analyses, and creating foundations for research, follow-up, and organizational development. You will also contribute to developing SiS's data infrastructure and internal analysis capacity, focusing on quality, legal certainty, and transparency. This includes developing and documenting routines for quality assurance, metadata, and data processing. The work occurs in a technically protected environment where secure data management according to GDPR and confidentiality legislation is central. Therefore, you need to be meticulous, security-conscious, structured, and understand how to transform data into meaningful knowledge within a government-managed framework. You also need strong collaborative skills as the work requires close cooperation within the section and with other agency functions. Qualifications • University degree in statistics, systems science, epidemiology, psychology, sociology, mathematics, data analysis, or another relevant field that SiS deems appropriate for the work. • Several years of experience in data management using SQL or another database environment. • Good understanding of quantitative methods and register-based analysis. • Knowledge of data protection legislation (GDPR, public access, and confidentiality).
