Christopher Morris > Open Positions

The Learning on Graph group in the CS Department of RWTH University is looking for a highly motivated student with practical experience in software engineering. The goal is to further improve an existing and already widely used open-source library in the area of graph learning by

  1. adding rigorous unit- and integration testing,
  2. adding detailed documentation in the form of auto-generated docs,
  3. developing a consistent API and refactoring existing code to improve readability and extensibility,
  4. setting up a feasible continuous delivery pipeline as well as a strategy with versioning and release.

This project provides an excellent opportunity to ambitious students in working on a large and popular open-source library and to have great impact on a rapidly growing field of machine learning.

Requirements

  1. Excellent programming skills in Python
  2. Strong background in machine learning
  3. Experience with PyTorch
  4. Experience with clean code, auto-generated documentation, unit- and integration testing
  5. Interest in open-source development
  6. Strong commitment to the project in terms of time and effort

Nice-to-have

  1. Proven track record (contributions to open-source software, machine learning projects)
  2. Independent way of working
  3. Practical experience with and interest in graph learning
  4. Experience with PyTorch Geometric (https://pytorch-geometric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
  5. Experience with working on large code bases
