In the past four years, the web-based information system was designed and developed to help social policy researchers organize their data collection and analyses.

The web-based information system is already being used by the social science researchers and stores more than a thousand datasets collected by them.
What do we offer? You will work in an interdisciplinary and international team of scientists and technicians. You will work closely with the leading professors of the team. Moreover, you will work on innovative topics to support scientific work in cooperation with software developers from other faculties and with the Data Science Center of the University of Bremen.
