Utrecht University’s Economic and Social History group and the Centre for Digital Humanities are seeking to appoint a data scientist for the Historical Income Panel for the Netherlands (HIP-NL) project. This project will open new lines of research on social and economic inequality by creating a large-scale historical income panel for c. 200.000 individuals in the Netherlands between 1851 and 1922 from municipal tax records. Recent mass digitisation of vital records and population registers, combined with the development of new data integration tools, will allow us to link the income panel to many other historical datasets, and enable new research across multiple dimensions, over a long time frame, and over multiple generations.
We are looking for a data scientist to help build this dataset. Together with the project's PIs and Postdoc, you will apply the latest techniques to integrate the datasets created by the project with other individual-level datasets: the historical population registers and civil registries. To this end, you will set up a linkage pipeline on the basis of the new burgerLinker tool, implement it, and instruct the student assistants. Together with the rest of the team, you will help create new lines of research that would only be possible with such a dataset.
We are looking for someone who loves data, and who can apply the latest techniques to create the dataset. The ideal candidate has:
We offer a temporary position for a period of 1 year (1.0 FTE), starting November 2022. Upon a good performance and positive evaluation, the contract will be extended for the remaining project period of 1 year (24 months in total). The minimum gross salary is €2,960 and the maximum gross salary is €5,439 (scale 10/11 of the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities) per month, at a full-time employment.
Besides that, you will receive a holiday allowance of 8% and a year-end bonus of 8.3%. Utrecht University also has an appealing package of terms of employment, including the choice for a good balance between work and private (a good arrangement for leave, among other things), possibilities for development and an excellent pension scheme.
