We seek a student assistant to support us at the Professorship of Supply Chain Management of Prof. Dr. David Wuttke and his team at the TUM Campus Heilbronn for 8-9 hours per week. We welcome applications from motivated students of all areas of expertise and study levels, either bachelor's or master's. This position starts as soon as possible and is limited to the summer semester, with the opportunity to extend it. We are open to applicants from TUM, HHN, and DHBW.

Research and education focus
Our team engages in cutting-edge teaching. We develop VR applications using Unity and C#, as well as customized GPT-based tools through prompt engineering and OpenAI’s APIs, accelerating education into the 21st century. Our applications help TUM students better understand supply chain management.

About us
We are part of the Center for Digital Transformation, a hub connecting leading marketing, finance, and operations scholars, with over 20 like-minded doctoral researchers and five professors. We are based at the TUM School of Management at the TUM Campus in Heilbronn – a vital part of the Technical University of Munich ranked among Europe’s top universities.

Your tasks…
• Support the development of VR apps and customized GPTs as part of a larger team through programming and testing
• Implement and systematically improve technology-enhanced learning
• Support for events at TUM Campus Heilbronn (e.g., Open Day, Girls' Day)

Your profile...
• Proficiency in English
• Programming skills/knowledge are required in one of two areas:
             o Area 1: c#, Unity, VR app and/or web development (for the support of VR app development)
             o Area 2: Python and LLMs (for the support of our customized GPTs)
• Flexibility to take up novel challenges as they arise
• Ability to work independently
• The work on VR happens in the XR Lab in Heilbronn; remote work within Germany is possible for the work on LLMs. However, in either case, student assistants are expected to be on campus when supporting events (about 3 days per semester)

We offer...
• Shaping the future of higher education!
• Flexible working hours
• An attractive, international work environment
