The MPIDR is one of the leading demographic centers in the world. It is
part of the Max Planck Society, a network of over 80 institutes that form
Germany's premier basic-research organization. Max Planck Institutes have
an established record of world-class, foundational research in the
sciences, technology, and the humanities, and offer a unique environment
that combines the best aspects of an academic setting and a research
laboratory.
*The Profile*
The Laboratory of Digital and Computational Demography, headed by MPIDR
Director Emilio Zagheni, is looking for candidates with a background in
Software Development/Software Engineering, who will support scientific
projects at MPIDR and collaborate closely with researchers on their
implementation.

statistical/data science libraries, (iii) Web Development (Front-end and
Back-end, APIs e.g. Facebook Marketing API), (iv) Mobile Application
Development (Android, IOS), (v) Data Management (SQL) and High Performance
Computing.
A PhD in Computer Science, Informatics or a related discipline (or
equivalent level of experience) is desirable. The successful candidate will
work with an international team of scientists that are advancing the field
of digital and computational demography. Her/his profile should include:
(i) excellent communication skills, including high proficiency in written
and spoken English; (ii) the ability to work in teams and to support the
full life cycle of scientific projects from a software development
perspective; (iii) an interest in deepening and expanding relevant
knowledge and skills, and in coauthoring research articles or reports.
