The program line Research Internships is an initiative aimed at increasing the number of female researchers in the research centre and within the German scientific community. It is open to female academics from abroad at the very beginning of their career after graduation with a master’s degree who are interested in experiencing first-hand the research environment at one of the participating institutions.
Good knowledge of either English or German is required. Participants will work for six months on a research project defined by the hosting institute. Pay is based on half-time employment on a TV-L E13 position (approx. 1.500 € per month after deductions).
Beside the scientific work, the program also offers the participants the opportunity to partake in intensive German language courses. After completing the research internship, successful participants are expected to have accumulated sufficient research experience and German language skills to become eligible as doctoral researchers within the SynTrac project.
An overview of the available projects are listed on our website. The offers are aimed at female students in relevant fields of study, especially engineering sciences. Please send your application directly to the contact in the respective topic proposal.
