- Develop new features for our annotation platform and other tools
- support researchers that use our platform (analysis or project on-boarding)
- develop and maintain ‘living’ systematic maps (automatically fetch and classify new publications and integrate into our databases)
- integrate living synthesis pipelines into human-in-the-loop processes
(e.g. Cochrane crowd or NACSOS) - evaluate and develop automation tools for information extraction
- help us to unlock multi-lingual evidence synthesis
- improve our interactive climateliterature.org platform
- enhance our local database snapshot of OpenAlex with >480M records
- drive your own ideas that accelerate the evidence synthesis process
Anforderungsprofil:
You are a Bachelor or Master student, enrolled at a German university, and ideally meet the following requirements:
We do not expect you to fulfil all requirements!
