The Laboratoire national de santé (LNS) recruits a Data Engineer in a full time and permanent position within the department of microbiology.
The LNS is a major player in Luxembourg’s healthcare sector, serving the country’s patients, doctors and hospitals. Under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and Social Security, the LNS is a multidisciplinary public institution organized around six diagnostic departments, two of which are designated as national diagnostic centers for human genetics and pathology respectively.
The LNS employs around 400 highly qualified staff with diverse backgrounds. The main purpose of the LNS is to develop analytical activities and scientific expertise relating to the prevention, diagnosis and monitoring of human diseases; to act as a national control or reference laboratory; and to carry out forensic missions. The LNS also collaborates with the University of Luxembourg and other biomedical research institutions, both nationally and internationally, on research and teaching activities.
In particular, in the field of diagnostics, the LNS covers the following fields of application: medical biology, microbiology, forensic medicine, environmental medicine, morphological and molecular pathology, and clinical genetics, as well as sequencing for rare diseases, oncology and pathogens.
The department is subdivided into three units :
All three services are dedicated to the diagnosis, surveillance and epidemiological surveillance of various infectious diseases using conventional and molecular methods. Processes are partially digitized and automated and software systems must communicate within the digital LNS infrastructure. In addition, the growing use of molecular biology methods based on next-generation and whole-genome sequencing is responsible for the creation of huge amounts of data that need to be integrated and managed.
