**Research Assistant Position: Zürich Accessible CiTy (ZüriACT)**

**About the project**
In our participatory citizen science project, with the help of web-based digital tools that allow for virtual inspections and measurements of accessibility features, (curb, surface, crosswalk) we want to contribute to collecting and enriching accessibility information of the city of Zürich and investigate how accessible the city of Zürich is for persons with mobility impairments. Ultimately, we are interested in how the accessibility of important destinations for people with mobility impairments can be optimized and individualized by using detailed information about spatial accessibility.

- training and instructing the participants for data collection
- if needed, on-site data collection in District 1 of the city of Zürich
- doing research on data quality assessment and helping with verifying and analyzing the collected datasets
- collaborating with researchers, public organizations, and other institutions

**Your profile**: We are looking for a highly motivated and open-minded researcher with a passion for science and an independent, efficient, organized, and effective work style, with the following profile:

- A completed bachelor's degree in Geography, GIScience, Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.
- A strong background in qualitative study design and data analysis
- A strong background in quantitative data analysis, statistical analysis, computational modeling, and programming (e.g., JAVA, JavaScript, HTML, Python, SQL, R) is a plus.
- Experience in web app development is an asset.
- Knowledge of spatial data storage and databases.
- Excellent social skills. Ability to work with diverse groups of people and be helpful, respectful, approachable, and team-oriented.
- Previous experience in interdisciplinary or citizen science projects is considered an asset.
- Demonstrated high attention to detail. Strong organizational skills.
- Excellent written and spoken German AND English communication skills are mandatory. Knowledge of other Swiss national languages (Italian and French) is a plus.

**What we offer**: We offer varied and interesting work in an inspiring and socially relevant environment.

Diversity and inclusion are important to us.
- an excellent opportunity to gain experience in the inter-disciplinary field of digitalization
- a team of highly motivated colleagues who are passionate about research
- diverse and varied tasks that challenge and encourage you
- an attractive work environment: the University of Zürich is one of Switzerland's leading universities in the middle of a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that regularly ranks as one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world
