You will work with about 350 skilled IT colleagues, of which the section consists of 17 employees, who operate, maintain and develop KU’s HR, finance, communication, building, ITSM and journals systems. At the same time you will work in a professional environment where cross-cutting collaboration, sparring and development are highly valued, and where everyone contributes to the University of Copenhagen's aim to be a world-class university.
