• Familiarity with commonly used AI tools and curiosity about how technology can improve research and everyday processes.
• Comfortable learning new digital tools and systems, with an interest in improving how information and workflows are organized.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with attention to detail and a willingness to explore different approaches.
