infrastructure*

A full-time position as coordinator of the Danish ELIXIR node on
bioinformatics tools infrastructure is currently available at Center for
Biological Sequence Analysis, DTU Systems Biology. The coordinator of the
Danish ELIXIR node will report to the steering committee of the Danish node.

*About the Danish ELIXIR node on bioinformatics tools infrastructure*
The planned Danish ELIXIR node on tool integration is a part of ELIXIR, a
sustainable, distributed infrastructure for the storage and dissemination
of life sciences data in Europe. The purpose of ELIXIR is to construct and
operate such an infrastructure for biological information and tools in
Europe to support life science research and its translation to medicine and
the environment, the bio-industries and society. ELIXIR is, at a European
level, directed by the ELIXIR Board where the coordinating node is the
ELIXIR Hub at the European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK.

The emerging Danish ELIXIR node on bioinformatics tool interoperability and
