About the Project

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research is seeking a highly skilled researcher to work on a Master's thesis project focused on developing an automated data integration workflow that combines chemical exposure data with biodiversity records. The project aims to bridge the gap between these two critical areas of research and provide a user-friendly interface for exploring their relationships.

Your Tasks

  • Craft a knowledge graph from an integrated data collection on biodiversity and chemical monitoring data, and use a graph database to store this data.
  • Develop a ChatBot Python package based on large language models.
  • Develop a retrieval augmented generation solution to ground this LLM with knowledge stored in a Graph Database.
  • Engineer prompts to allow correct responses to the project-relevant questions.
  • Provide showcases.

We Offer

  • Excellent supervision that supports your personal and professional development.
  • Exciting insights into the work of a leading research institute.
  • The chance to work in interdisciplinary, international teams and benefit from a wide range of perspectives.
  • The opportunity to contribute and actively shape your own ideas and impulses right from the start.
  • Modern technical equipment and IT service to optimally support your work.

Your Profile

  • Background in Computer Science.
  • Advanced understanding of large language model (LLMs) APIs.
  • Solid programming skills in Python.
  • Experience with software development in an IDE (JetBrains PyCharm).
  • Experience with collaborative software development and agile project management with Git.
  • Database experience and database querying languages, preferably with graph databases and CYPHER.
  • Fluent in spoken and written English.
