学生助理：能源数据工程师（男女不限）

Job Description

Agora's Data and Modelling Team leads the development of database services, analytical and modelling tools, as well as visualisation products for Agora Energiewende, Agora Industry, and Agora Agriculture. It is a growing cross-organisational team working at the intersection of our sectorial, policy and communication work in all geographies (Germany, EU, international).

As Agora Think Tanks, we develop politically feasible and science-based strategies and solutions for the transformation to climate neutrality. Along with overarching questions of climate policy, the successful transformation to a climate-neutral energy system is at the core of our work. With around 180 employees at four locations worldwide, we advise decision-makers and facilitate a productive exchange of ideas. Because no single institution can tackle the complexity of the transition from fossil fuels to renewables and to climate neutrality, we cultivate an intensive dialogue with stakeholders from politics, civil society, the economy, and science. Additionally, we are active in a global network of think tanks promoting the net-zero transition. As a non-profit organisation we act independently and free from economic or party-political interests.

To strengthen our team in our Berlin-Office, we are looking for a:

Student Assistant: Energy Data Engineer (f/m/d)

for 15-20 hours per week to help shape a data-driven narrative of the energy transition.

• The option of hybrid working with good digital equipment;
• A comprehensive onboarding programme;
• 29 vacation days per year (5-day working week) and 24 & 31 December off-work;

We are looking for

• A motivated student currently enrolled at a higher education institution for at least the next 12 months, pursuing a degree in computer science, data science, natural sciences, engineering, informatics, statistics, or a related field;
• Expertise in Python, experience with data science packages like Pandas, NumPy, and SQLAlchemy would be advantageous;
• Knowledge of PostgreSQL database management system;
• Proficient in using GitHub;
• Familiarity with gathering data from various sources and storing them in databases;
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office products;
• Knowledge of energy and industry decarbonisation topics and datasets (Germany, EU, and/or international) is advantageous;
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills and ability to work well in a team-oriented environment;
