Technical Translation
& Interpreting.
We need someone who can bridge English and Mandarin precisely — translating technical dosimetry and clinical documentation, and interpreting live during meetings with Mandarin-speaking partners. This role requires you to be based in Germany.
Apply for this roleThe company.
Oncosia Scientific GmbH is a specialist dosimetry service company working at the intersection of nuclear medicine, medical physics, and regulated clinical research. We support clients across clinical centres, pharmaceutical sponsors, CROs, and academic research partners — work that spans pre-clinical and clinical dosimetry, radiopharmaceutical trial support, and regulatory documentation to FDA and EMA standards.
As our international footprint grows, we need someone who can bridge English and Mandarin precisely — in written technical material and live in the room.
What this is.
We are looking for a Werkstudent to support our team with translation and interpreting between English and Mandarin (native/mother-tongue level). This is not a general-purpose translation job: the content is technical — medical physics, dosimetry, and clinical documentation — so accuracy and domain understanding matter as much as language fluency.
You will work closely with our technical and clinical teams, translating documents and interpreting during meetings with Mandarin-speaking partners, clients, and collaborators.
What you will do.
Document Translation
- Translate technical documents from English to Mandarin: reports, SOPs, presentations, and client-facing material.
- Maintain precision and consistency of technical terminology across documents.
Meeting Interpretation
- Provide live interpretation (consecutive) during meetings, calls, and presentations involving Mandarin-speaking counterparts.
Formatting & Delivery
- Prepare translated material in Word and PowerPoint to a polished, professional standard — ready for external use, not just draft quality.
Cross-Team Liaison
- Work with medical physicists, project leads, and clients to clarify terminology and ensure translations reflect the correct technical meaning, not just literal wording.
What we are looking for.
Background
- Currently enrolled student (Bachelor's or Master's) in physics, medical physics, medicine, or a closely related field.
- Based in Germany — this role is remote, but requires you to be located in Germany.
- A direct interest in medical physics is a benefit — you will get to work closely with real dosimetry calculations, radiopharmaceutical therapy documentation, and clinical trial workflows, and pick up practical, hands-on exposure to the field that goes well beyond what's covered in coursework.
Languages
- Mandarin Chinese — native/mother-tongue level, written and spoken.
- English — excellent, written and spoken; comfortable working directly from technical English source material.
Skills & tools
How to apply.
We do not need a lengthy cover letter. Tell us briefly:
- → Your current course of study and expected graduation.
- → Any experience translating or interpreting technical/scientific material (formal or informal).
- → Your availability (hours per week, earliest start date).
A focused, honest application matters more than a comprehensive one.
