Are you experienced in data analysis, information databases, and data registration—preferably in a research context? Are you dedicated to understanding and measuring innovation in relation to research activities?

If you're also excited about developing open research information infrastructures - especially in collaboration with peers and parallel initiatives in Denmark and globally - then consider applying for one of our two analyst positions at Research Portal Denmark, facilitated by the NORA team.

The Research Portal is a national research infrastructure developed and operated by the NORA team – part of DTU's Department of IT Service (AIT).  AIT also handles a number of other national tasks related to research and educational infrastructure. Research Portal Denmark  is funded by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science , with whom we continuously coordinate goals and frameworks.  [RC1] The team behind the Research Portal is called National Open Research Analytics (NORA), and the workplace is DTU Lyngby Campus . Our mission is to develop and maintain Research Portal Denmark including datasets e.g. on publications, funders, grants, patents, datasets, clinical trials, and policy papers – and the links between them. This year’s focus is on consolidating the portal and we’re now gearing up for 2026 with a strong focus on user group insights to better serve our stakeholders and improve the user experience on the portal.

We offer
We are NORA - a full-stack product development team of 8 members: 3 data analysts (including you), 1 developer, 1 IT coordinator and 3 consultants. We’re a highly dedicated, hardworking, and fun-loving team, always wanting to learn and do more. You’ll be working with a multinational team and with collaboration partners internationally with English as your primary language – but fluency in Danish will be an advantage. 

We offer:

• Engagement in a nationally significant research infrastructure project
• A dynamic and international team environment
• An opportunity to contribute to a high-impact national initiative in a collaborative and innovative environment
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements. Normally, we work 3 days a week at Lyngby and 2 days from home
• A culture that values professional development, innovation, and collegiality.

Primary responsibilities
Taking your specific competences into account, you will work with many aspects of the research area's metadata universe. You'll get involved in, among other things:

• Quality assurance related to the ongoing import of data to the research portal's databases
• Preparation of data analyses, e.g., of coverage, data quality, and utilization potentials
• Further development of the search systems' functionality, user-friendliness, and user dialogue
• Development and improvement of analytical dashboards and reports
• Design of new concepts as the portal expands in terms of data and tasks
• Leadership of working groups consisting of key stakeholders from the research landscape.

Your skills
You have solid experience with data analysis, information databases, and data registration and preferably, experience with:

• Research analyses based on global publication and citation databases and preferably other tools and platforms in the field
• Bibliometric data and indicators – opportunities and limitations 
• Persistent Identifiers, PIDs, on the web – potentials and challenges
• Translating from "user language" to "technician language" to support effective communication and implementation 
• Current knowledge of the latest developments in research analytics – including emerging (open) sources, evolving needs, innovative services, and new stakeholders entering the field 
• Integration and analysis of diverse research outputs, including datasets, grants, clinical trials, policy papers, patents, and patent databases.

Most importantly, we do not expect you to know everything when you start, but that you are a quick learner, committed, and eager to familiarize yourself with new areas.
