Engineer, ideally one with a background in research data management (RDM), FAIR data, and database administration, who will contribute to establishing the data architecture infrastructure for open and reusable data, generate experimental code, and advance
the development of reproducible neuroscience tools and processing pipelines in interdisciplinary research projects. The position will involve creating tools for the efficient organization and exploration of openly shared raw and processed datasets. It is also
ideal for networking in the open science community as it includes interaction with the open (neuro)science community; and it will be a unique opportunity for someone keen to contribute to the development of open science and large-scale collaborations, as well
as to community efforts and dissemination.</span></p>
