The Max Planck Society is Germany’s premier research organization. The eighty-six Max Planck Institutes conduct research at highest levels, in the service of the general public, in the natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the humanities.
Posizione lavorativa
- Investigate HTR mechanisms, with particular regard to layout detection and recognition of diagrams in handwritten notes, in tight collaboration with the team in Lausanne;
- Research and devise ontology schemas for the storage and publishing of knowledge and data from the project;
- Assist in the selection of the Web platforms (e.g. ResearchSpace, Arches, TEIpublisher integration) of choice for the project;
- Implement semantic cataloging binding together text (TEI) and semantic annotations / metadata, including Web templates for visualization (with the partners in Groningen) and patterns for database query/update;
- Halfway through the post, collaborate with the computational semiotics team in Aachen to evolve the data model and catalogue implementation based on their findings;
- Contribute to the scientific dissemination of the project outcomes (e.g. by authoring publications and attending themed events, including those organized by the project).
Profilo ricercato
Essential:
- Foundational understanding of Linked Data standards (RDF, SPARQL, ontologies);
- Knowledge of NoSQL database paradigms and their implementations (e.g. document databases like MongoDB, graph databases like Jena or Virtuoso);
- Web application development (e.g. React or native JavaScript);
- Ability to interact with HTTP-based APIs regardless of the programming language;
- Ability to quickly learn new standards based on the above knowledge;

- Experience in computational linguistics is a plus, as is knowledge of Natural language processing and/or machine learning techniques;
- Experience with digital publishing technologies (e.g TEI, IIIF, TEIpublisher);
- Knowledge of the Python programming language;
- Web templating mechanisms (e.g. Handlebars, Django, or Jekyll).
