Vor 3 Tagen


Aachen, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

Research at the Institute for Advanced Simulation - Materials Data Science and Informatics (IAS-9) at Forschungszentrum Jülich is multidisciplinary and spans across the fields of theoretical material characterization, data science and data analytics to metadata research and data management. The members of our group "Concepts and tools for research data management" strive to improve metadata practices and semantic interoperability of research tools for research data
- for example in context of their work within inter-institutional large scale consortia such as the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) or the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Interoperable data
- a cornerstone of the FAIR principles - is one of the main motivations for our work. We support use cases and communities in the development of ontologies, glossaries and knowledge graphs within the fields of material science and engineering, electron microscopy as well as research digitization and digital assets.

**Your Job**:
In our team you will work collaboratively on:

- Building, modeling and customizing structured semantic data, mid
- and top-level alignment of semantic datasets
- Data description and integration using knowledge graphs
- Merging of different semantic data sets by means of manual "ontology matching" and "ontology alignment"; semi-automatic ontology mapping, e.g. by means of machine learning methods
- Supporting communities in the domain specific aspects of ontology development e.g. through the organization and moderation of ontology interest groups
- Support the dissemination of developed tools and concepts within workshops and specific training activities
- Development of new tools as well as adaption of existing tools for visualization and modeling of domain-specific ontologies
- Presentation of the work at conferences and preparation of manuscripts for publication
- Supervision of student projects and B.Sc./M.Sc. theses

**Your Profile**:
We are looking for motivated colleagues who are interested in supporting science through pragmatic solutions. For this you will bring:

- University degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in Information Science/Data Science/Computer Science or other relevant fields. A doctorate or equivalent working experience is desirable but not mandatory
- Extensive working experience in relevant semantic web technologies (e.g. OWL,RDF,RDFS,SPARQL) and relevant tools and frameworks (e.g. Apache Jena, Protégé, VocBench,Vue)
- Working experience in of web-relevant scripting languages (XML,HTML,JavaScript) as well as programming languages (e.g. Python, C+, Java,Ruby) and knowledge of common database systems is an advantage
- Knowledge of common top-level ontologies such as BFO or GFO and related initiatives like the OBO Foundry
- Very good communication skills in English (written & oral)
- Ability to think analytically and conceptually as well as enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary team where development processes are driven cooperatively
- Ability to write scientific texts for publication and reporting
- Willingness to support scientists with respect to metadata & research data management

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We support you in your work with:

- Secure employment in a dynamic, international and multidisciplinary group of scientists from different domains and software developers in the field of research data management
- The opportunity to strengthen your reputation in a dynamic and highly active research field
- Extensive training opportunities for personal and professional development
- Flexible working hours in a full-time position with the option of slightly reduced working hours and 30 days of annual leave
- Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
- Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
