Description

Our research group is regularly conducting online or (if possible) on-site lab user studies. Such studies are a valuable possibility to get to know and learn empirical research methods. There are several small tasks that can be conducted by students in the form of a paid student assistant, as listed below.  

Tasks

Possible tasks include: 

• Implementation of interactive visualizations, study procedure (e.g., randomized appearance and configuration of the visualization based on the study protocol), and logging. 
• Conducting the study itself (welcoming participants and guiding them through the study procedure). 
• Evaluation, especially of qualitative feedback in form of open coding. 

Requirements

• Knowledge of English language 
• For implementation tasks: very good knowledge of JavaScript / d3, Python, and / or PHP, depending on the planned study 
• Strong interest in human-centered research methods 
• Candidates should be very reliable

Procedure
