The NCRIS Research Data Services Project

The Research Data Services (RDS) project is federally funded by the Department of Education and Training through the NCRIS program, with UQ as the lead agent.  It enables researchers to easily store, discover, access and share their data for better research outcomes.

RDS provides petascale research data storage resources and access services through partner delivery organisations distributed nationally, supporting over 37PB of data across nearly all fields of research.  In 2017 RDS has a strongly aligned program of activities with our partner projects of ANDS and Nectar and is a leader in the development of collaborative tools and processes across the NCRIS network.

The role will also assist with general administrative support within the Office, including financial and budget support. The position will work collaboratively with other offices within and outside UQ and will assist the Director, RDS directly, as required.
