SDU IT plays a central role in the university’s digital infrastructure and development. We support research, education, administration and knowledge collaboration through operations, support and strategic digitalisation.

We strive at SDU IT to make use of the resources we already have in a smarter and more efficient way, while also exploring new opportunities and solutions.

We offer a workplace with

• Tasks with preparation and installation of clients and smaller servers, troubleshooting and remediation of IT equipment, advice and setup of special IT solutions for use in research
• Possibility to develop both your technical skills and your communication abilities
• A workplace community where wellbeing, humor and professional development go hand in hand

It is a requirement for the position that you have completed IT support education and have started or are about to start the data technician education at a vocational school.

About us

We focus on creating and communicating new knowledge that shapes the society of the future, and we systematically work on continuously developing capabilities, organisation and solutions that support our strategic goals. You can read more about SDU’s organisation and strategy at www.sdu.dk/da/om-sdu

SDU IT is the focal point for operation and development of IT and digitisation across research, education, knowledge collaboration and administration at SDU. We are a unified unit with over 160 employees distributed across 6 departments and 9 teams.

In line with the rapid digital development there are also changed conditions for being an IT department. In addition to the classic support needs of users, delivery of IT solutions and secure operation, we also have a dedicated focus on process development and user dialogue with a view to e.g. identifying efficiency potentials or insights into smarter use of the digital solutions we implement.

It requires a strong strategic focus, well-developed internal processes and a future-oriented mindset so we can act proactively in relation to the opportunities that digitisation offers. As SDU IT we therefore have a broad focus when we say that we move SDU digitally.

Note: We may have vacant positions at other SDU campuses. You should apply to all the positions you are interested in.
