Your tasks

Responsibilities and Project
The position supports the development of a research data lake for empirical work with large-scale financial, textual, licensed, and partly confidential datasets. The objective is to build a robust, well-documented, and reproducible data infrastructure that allows researchers to ingest, store, process, document, and analyze data efficiently and securely.
Research and infrastructure tasks will include data engineering, coding, documentation, and coordination with researchers and IT/platform providers. Core tasks include, among others:

Design and implementation of the research data lake

Support the design of a scalable data architecture for approximately 5 TB of research data
Structure data into raw, cleaned, and analysis-ready layers
Develop clear naming conventions, folder structures, access rules, and documentation standards
Ensure that the data lake supports long-term retention of raw and processed data

Data ingestion and integration

Build automated workflows to import data from external providers, databases, APIs, file deliveries, and researcher-maintained sources
Integrate financial datasets, textual datasets, and other licensed research data into a consistent infrastructure
Implement validation checks, logging, error handling, and version control for data updates
Document data provenance, licenses, update frequencies, and usage restrictions

Automation of research pipelines

Develop reproducible pipelines for cleaning, transforming, and preparing datasets for empirical research
Create reusable scripts and templates for recurring data tasks
Support researchers in converting manual data work into automated and documented workflows
Contribute to reproducible research practices through Git-based code management and clear pipeline documentation

Data governance, confidentiality, and access management

Help implement procedures for handling licensed and confidential datasets
Support role-based access concepts, documentation of data permissions, and compliance with provider agreements
Prepare data inventories and metadata files to make datasets findable and usable by the research team
Coordinate with internal IT or external platform providers where needed

Research support

Assist researchers with data preparation, quality checks, exploratory analysis, and technical troubleshooting
Provide documentation and short internal guides so that the infrastructure can be maintained beyond the initial project phase
Contribute to other data-intensive research projects at the Chair or Institute where appropriate

The position is particularly suitable for a candidate who wants to combine data science, data engineering, and applied academic research. The role offers the opportunity to build a research infrastructure from the ground up and to gain experience with large-scale, real-world research data.

Your profile

Master's degree in data science, computer science, statistics, econometrics, information systems, or a closely related field
Strong interest in research data infrastructure, data engineering, automation of empirical research pipelines, and reproducible science
Excellent programming skills, preferably in Python and SQL; experience with R, Stata, or Matlab is an asset
Experience with data engineering tools and workflows, such as APIs, ETL/ELT pipelines, Git, Docker, workflow automation, metadata documentation, or cloud-based research environments
Familiarity with structured and unstructured data, including financial datasets, text data, and large-scale file systems
Strong understanding of data governance, access control, documentation, and reproducibility
Willingness to work carefully with licensed and confidential research data
High motivation and ability to work independently as well as in close collaboration with researchers and IT/data infrastructure providers
Prior experience with cloud-based data science platforms is an advantage
