As part of its outreach programme, we are developing **“Gut-Liver Caching”**, a geocaching-inspired citizen science project in Aachen.

**Tasks**

The student assistant will support the design and implementation of this outreach project, with responsibilities including:

- **Designing and testing engagement formats** (physical caches, QR codes, digital content).
- **Coordinating placement and maintenance** of caches across Aachen.
- **Supporting evaluation** of participant responses (feedback, mini knowledge checks).
- **Assisting with promotion** in collaboration with CRC outreach channels.

**Profile**

- Strong interest in science communication, outreach, or citizen science.
- Basic programming skills (e.g. Python, R, or web technologies) for data screening and/or simple digital prototypes.
- Comfortable with both independent work and collaboration.
- Creativity and willingness to think “outside the box”.
- Experience with simple digital content design (desirable but not essential).
- Good German and English language skills desirable; additional languages are an asset.

**Requirements**:

- A valid certificate of study.
- For international students: valid residence certificate, work permit, registration certificate.

**We Offer**
- Opportunity to contribute to an innovative outreach project at the interface of science and the public.
- Hands-on experience in science communication, citizen science methods, and data analysis.
