The successful candidate(s) should be students at ETH Zurich or the University of Zurich (computer science, engineering, economics and social sciences, mathematics, or natural sciences). They need to have good coding skills in Phyton, NLP skills as well as LaTex skills. Good command of German/French is a plus (since 99% of the data is in German and French), but not a must.
