Workplace Description

The University Library is looking for a System Administrator. The position is attached to the IT Department, one of the University Library's seven departments. The IT Department is an agile and learning unit responsible for the development and operation of library-related systems at Lund University. The department has nine employees and works in close collaboration with operations and users. Our systems and services are either self-developed or based on open source. The department's mandate includes both system development and operations, i.e., support and administration of systems, applications, and infrastructure. One of our largest and most used systems is the library system Koha, which manages the library's collections, users, and loan transactions.

The position is a fixed-term appointment at 80% for 8 months. Currently, several of the department's employees are engaged in a cross-departmental eight-month-long project, and we are therefore looking for an employee who can participate in the ongoing work of administering Koha during that period.
