[Rdap] JOB POSTING: Bioinformationist, Health Sciences Library, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

[Magle,Tobin]

 I held this position at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus for 2 years. It’s more of a general research support position, but there is a fair amount of data management involved. It’s a great place to work, and I’m happy to answer any questions about the position.
