Interactive graphics in python (Hilfsassistentenstelle)

Job description

For the coming year, we are looking for a «teaching assistant” (Hilfsassistent) for the implementation of interactive graphical elements in python-based JupyterNotebooks. These notebooks will be used as teaching tools in the DBIOL course “Bioanalytics”. We are looking for experience with matplotlib, plotly, ipywidgets and JupyterNotebooks as well as Python in general. A background in Chemistry, Biochemistry or Biology would be a plus but is not required.

You will work in a small team of 3-4 people. Except for a bi-weekly meeting you will have great flexibility in choosing your working hours and location. The planned workflow will be that we discuss the desired interactive features in a team. You will assess the feasibility of such feature and propose implementations or alternatives and then work on implementing these implementations that work with the general Python code that was developed for the non-interactive features.
