  • Experiences with library metadata, subject classification, and authority files are a plus

  • Proficiency in spoken and written English. Proficiency in German is an advantage


Potential PhD topics within the research group “Scientific Knowledge Engineering” (SKE) include (but are not limited to):

  • Development, validation, and structural improvement of library-specific KOS (vocabularies, authority files, classifications) based on semantic technologies and formal methods


Development of semantic solutions for the six TIB subjects (technology, architecture, chemistry, information technology, mathematics, physics) and associated interdisciplinary subjects (such as industry, mobility, agriculture, etc.) based on use cases defined by the target communities and patrons of TIB and from interdisciplinary contexts.


What we offer: We provide an scientifically and intellectually inspiring environment with a practical mindset embedded in a leading technical university and one of the largest technical information centers which is part of the Leibniz Association. Our aim is to provide the environment and resources to make the research group leaders successful in their field.
