Your tasks

The successful candidate will join a highly motivated team of researchers focusing on value creation and corporate distress. The work portfolio will be carefully constructed to include opportunities for the development of your coding skills and the building of a reliable data infrastructure. Enhancing large datasets, designing, and maintaining the server-side of a web application, and collaborating with our front-end developers will be at the core of your agenda. At a more granular level, your tasks will include:
  • Collecting and organizing data: You may expand and improve the quality of our datasets that draw on various sources. This involves understanding data structures, selecting the relevant data, ensuring the data is properly formatted and consistent, and detecting and correcting any inaccuracies or errors.
  • Analyzing and modeling data: You may apply statistical and mathematical techniques to explore data, identify patterns and trends, and develop models.
  • Writing, testing, and debugging code: You may leverage programming languages such as Python, SQL, and Java to write efficient code that processes and transforms large datasets.
  • Visualizing data: You may propose and create visualizations, charts, and reports that communicate complex data analysis results to non-technical stakeholders in a concise manner.
  • Developing server-side logic: You may create the code and logic that run on the server, which handle requests from the client-side of our application.
  • Managing server infrastructure: You may be responsible for deploying and maintaining servers, ensuring they are available, scalable, and secure so that our data can be easily accessed and analyzed.
  • Collaborating with various stakeholders: You may be responsible for communication with our front-end developers and other technical roles to provide a seamless and engaging user experience. This may include translating software development steps to non-technical audiences.

Our team works very closely together and active knowledge sharing is the norm while working in an agile way. Flexible working hours will allow you to integrate your tasks with your weekly schedule. A network of highly motivated researchers at the SIAW-HSG will enable you to further broaden your horizon in applied economics.

Your profile

We are looking for a reliable self-starter who:
  • Is motivated to gain valuable experience in the technical development of a leading-edge economics application.
  • Possesses advanced knowledge of Python and at least some knowledge of SQL.
  • Has experience working with financial and accounting data.
  • Is intrinsically motivated to solve complex problems.
  • Communicates clearly and provides constructive feedback while contributing to a positive team culture.
  • Knows where to look for technical solutions to overcome potential obstacles independently.

Previous experience with Python’s Django library, DevOps tools such as Git, Docker, AWS, and the Linux command line are an advantage.

We do not expect the successful candidate to be a professional data engineer. Personal drive and the ambition to learn and to further develop existing capabilities are most important. We prefer to fill this position with a current or prospective student at the University of St. Gallen.

The SIAW has been founded in 1943. Since this time, issues related to the international economic order and economic policies have been a traditional focus of our institute’s activities. Work at the institute is directed toward developing the methodological basis for policy advice, leading to policy recommendations in selected areas. Professor Evenett is one of the institute’s directors and his research focuses on international trade and the intersection of business and economics.

We are looking forward to your online-application.
