Are you eager to demonstrate your artistic talent? 

About the Team 

Elsevier, part of the RELX Group, is a global leader in information and analytics for science and healthcare. Our mission is to partner with the research and healthcare communities we serve to advance knowledge and drive human progress. Within Elsevier, the Diffusion Studios team is responsible for developing custom medical education solutions for external clients and providing support to intracompany projects. 

The work done by the Diffusion Studios team is quite varied in terms of style, topic, and audience. We work with partners from around the world and have translated material into more than a dozen languages. The materials created include standalone 2D images, interactive 3D models, infographics, whiteboard animations, 2D and 3D animations, icons, and more. The industries that we have worked with range from government agencies and public health organizations to researchers and patient advocacy groups.

The successful individual must consistently deliver work that meets the highest standards of quality, speed, accuracy, and strict adherence to client specifications. 

We are seeking someone capable of working independently and producing high-quality work from the outset; therefore, this is not a trainee position.
