Student Assistant – Front Developer
We are looking for a person who is proficient in the development of intuitive web-based user interfaces for a project with a strong practical application. The goal is to provide a tool that is capable of informing different parties in the urban planning process and enables to design and analyse different planning possibilities. The tool will consist of a front end that should easily allow the users to come up with different scenarios, which are then analysed and depicted in strong visualisations. We will apply and use the tool in a real planning process in Einsiedeln, involving local authorities and citizens. Thus the project will have a real impact. The main tasks will include the development of a web-based user interface and the adaptation of existing analysis tools to the needs of the target audience, including the connection with the user interface. The project may also involve theoretical work on the analysis methods and algorithms.
The successful candidate must be a reliable, enthusiastic student with skills and willingness to program intuitive user interfaces, who has knowledge in Python and web-based programming.
