The Responsible Data Science Project is looking for a student assistant with programming skills and web-development experience to start as soon as possible for 10 – 20 hours a week (2-3 days) with a €30 per hour salary.
This project can be incorporated into an internship and thesis work.
To apply, send a short email with your motivation, CV and grade list to Dr. Visara Urovi and Dr. Remzi Celebi.
This project focuses on building the Responsibility Matrix as a tool to raise awareness about ethical data-driven research and scientific integrity. This tool will support researchers and organisations to transparently and explicitly describe the design choices and accountabilities related to a project that processes data. The responsibility matrix is a grid, with components on the y-axis and scopes on the x-axis. Users fill out the cells of the matrix to specify design choices, plan possible outcomes and plan to mitigate risks of unintended outcomes.
Technical Skills:
- Web development
- Scripting languages
- Knowledge of Neo4j is a plus
Main Duties:
- Work on a web-based application for filling an interactive questionnaire
- Validation of the work with end-users
- Report on the development and findings
Your tasks are:
- To build a web-platform to enable users to fill in the matrix. The platform is implemented in the form of a questionnaire that suggests answer examples, allows the users to inspect their answers and stores the matrix for future use.
- To test and re-iterate the matrix within the IDS and UM end-users.
- To report the technical development and the findings.
You will work in a young, ambitious and supportive environment at Maastricht University Institute of Data Science combined with working from home (COVID measures apply) under the IDS Supervisors Dr. Visara Urovi and Dr. Remzi Celebi. You will have a flexible contract via InterUM.
