Apologies for cross-posting, but I am excited to share news of this opportunity!
The Research Data Management Core (RDMC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) is accepting applications for a Health Sciences Data Steward position. RDMC is a new campus unit that was established by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for
Research in response to new and forthcoming data policies issued by major federal funding agencies, and to create opportunities to harness UNC’s data assets for AI and other emergent research techniques. RDMC has been charged with building a campus-wide data
ecosystem of expertise, services, and technology to support and promote data management and sharing standards and best practices throughout the research lifecycle.
The Health Sciences Data Steward will be instrumental in setting the campus agenda for data management and sharing through strategic planning, policy development, needs assessment, and service deployment.
This is an exciting opportunity for a mid-career professional who is eager to make a significant impact on a major university’s response to current and forthcoming data management and sharing mandates, as well as its preparations for enabling next-generation

large-scale genomic and core facility-generated data, metadata standardization) specifically. Ideal candidates are also keenly aware of trends in policy, technology, and research methods that impact data management and sharing practices and expectations in
health sciences and related disciplines.
