• Tasks with provisioning and installation of clients and smaller servers, troubleshooting and repair of IT equipment, advising and setup of special IT solutions for use in research
• Opportunity to develop both your technical skills and your communication abilities

We focus on creating and disseminating new knowledge that shapes the society of the future, and we work systematically to continuously develop skills, organization and solutions that support our strategic goals.

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

As the pace of digital development accelerates, conditions for being an IT department have also changed. In addition to the classic user support needs, delivery of IT solutions and secure operation, we also have a dedicated focus on process development and user dialogue with a view to, for example, identifying efficiency potential or insights into smarter use of the digital solutions we implement.

This requires a strong strategic focus, well-developed internal processes and a forward-looking mindset so we can act proactively in relation to the opportunities digitalisation offers. As SDU IT we thus 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 positions you are interested in.
