  • Monitor repository usage, analyze engagement metrics, and prepare reports to demonstrate impact.
  • Partner with IT teams to maintain technical integrity, security, and accessibility of repository systems.
  • Work closely with RDDC colleagues to maintain accurate and engaging web resources, manage the department's online presence, and develop outreach strategies to increase awareness and usage of services.
  • Collaborate with liaison librarians, IT staff, and the Research Office to support campus-wide data initiatives.
  • Provide guidance and support to units involved in research and data governance.
  • Stay informed on emerging trends in data management, open science, and scholarly communication, as well as evolving grant requirements for research data.
