• Hands‑on skills in video editing, motion graphics, and animation — whichever software you work in
• A genuine curiosity about science and/or informatics — no prior biomedical knowledge required, just an open mind
• Strong visual communication instincts and an eye for clean, purposeful design
• Reliable, self‑directed work style and good communication skills, ideally with knowledge of German / English

• Strong perspectives: We offer extensive training opportunities – so you can continuously grow and set new goals.
