Your Profile

Needless to say, we welcome applicants from all study fields and backgrounds.

Instead, we're looking for someone independent and enthusiastic, not afraid to get his or her hands dirty, ready to carry out menial task as much as excited to take over new projects from scratch.

Authenticity & empathy are a must, so are excellent communication skills in English as well as German.
