There are several areas we would like to improve our setup in and we are open to constructive ideas on how to do that.

Student Assistant for Data Visualization

Our goal is to have a small static website that is hosted in GitHub pages on which users can compare existing results or upload their own. You have free choice of technology, as there is no existing code. As the results contain various dimensions, users should be able interactively choose the dimensions and result files of interest and get the updated plots immediately.

Ideally, you have some knowledge in front-end development and data visualization. The job will give you the opportunity to learn in these areas and dig into the current web stack and visualization tools.
