## Description

AI is transforming the scientific process across disciplines.

In this context, we are seeking a motivated researcher to coordinate and lead these activities.

Your tasks will be:

 * Lead dedicated work packages and a team of researchers within the NFDI4DS project including coordination with project partners and supervision of PhD students
 * Research scholarly information extraction and develop methods for building Research Knowledge Graphs (e.g., GESIS KG)
 * Develop, integrate, and evaluate services, models, and systems using established benchmarks
 * Advance the NFDI4DS Academy through community engagement, content acquisition (methods, tutorials, training material) and integration with third party infrastructures
 * Exchange with scientific and user communities and dissemination of project results through publications and workshops at national and international level
