Job Summary
In this role, you will develop semantic data infrastructures and ontology-based applications for chemistry and engineering, while testing AI-supported methods and maintaining domain-specific ontologies.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You will work in an interdisciplinary team on the development and operation of semantic research data infrastructures for chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
- In this role, you will serve as a bridge between scientific disciplines, ontology development, and software development.
- You will work independently across projects, developing cross-disciplinary semantic models, applications, and services, while also testing AI-supported approaches for efficient ontology development and curation.
- Collaboration with partners in chemistry, engineering, computer science, and libraries.
- Evaluation and implementation of LLM-based tools for AI-assisted ontology development and curation using a human-in-the-loop approach.
- Development and maintenance of domain-specific ontologies and controlled vocabularies for materials science, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, and chemistry.
- Application, mapping, and alignment of established standards: Metadata4Ing, MSEO, BFO, DataCite, DCAT-AP.
- Design of metadata schemas and generic protocol structures for experiments and processing workflows.
- Development and maintenance of knowledge graphs (RDF, SPARQL).
- Koordinierung der konzeptionellen (Weiter-)Entwicklung der RDM-Systemarchitektur aus einer "Big-Picture"-Perspektive.
- Collaborative requirements engineering within the team: translating domain requirements into technical specifications for applications for the semantic annotation of research data, protocols, and other data types.
- Quality assurance of system implementations with regard to semantic correctness, FAIR compliance, and interoperability.
- Helping to design knowledge graph interfaces and SPARQL query interfaces.

Our expectations of you
Education
- A completed academic degree (Master's, university diploma, or equivalent) in computer science, chemistry, materials science, engineering, information science, computational linguistics, linguistics, digital humanities, data science, or a related field, provided there is a demonstrable thematic connection to knowledge modelling, semantic technologies, or information structuring.
- High degree of self-organization and ability to work independently.
Qualifications
- Vertrautheit mit den FAIR-Datenprinzipien und modernen Standards des Forschungsdatenmanagements.
- Knowledge of common metadata schemas such as DataCite, Schema.org, and DCAT.
- Excellent understanding of software development processes and the ability to act as a conceptual bridge between domain experts and developers.
- Knowledge of version control (Git) and CI/CD workflows.
- Excellent written and spoken English skills.
- Knowledge of LinkML and SSSOM.
- Knowledge of German is a plus, but not required.
Experience
- Experience in modelling metadata schemas and/or controlled vocabularies.
- Experience with ontologies in chemistry, materials science, or engineering.
- Experience with ontology development tools such as ROBOT, ODK, or Protégé.
- Experience with AI-supported methods of ontology development and knowledge modeling, particularly the use of large language models (LLMs) as assistive tools in ontology engineering (e.g., OntoGPT, CurateGPT, LLM-supported ROBOT workflows).
- Experience with data repositories, electronic lab notebooks, Semantic MediaWiki, or terminology services.
