The deadlines are December 31 and January 31. Details are included below and also at the following url: https://cis.mpg.de/internships Several Max Planck Institutes in Germany invite applications for research internships in Computer Science from exceptional university students at all levels (Bachelors, Masters and PhD). Interns tackle new and challenging research problems in close collaboration with faculty and graduate students at the institute. Successful internships often result in co-authored publications at top academic conferences. A Max Planck CS internship is an excellent way for Bachelor's and Master's students to start or extend their research experience and embark on a research career! Students looking for Bachelor's or Master's thesis projects may also apply. We particularly welcome applications from women and individuals belonging to groups that are underrepresented in science and technology. Eligibility ----------- The eligibility criteria for an internship are an exceptional academic record and knowledge of Computer Science equivalent to the first three years of a standard university Bachelor's (undergraduate) program in CS. Internship projects are individually customized to suit the existing knowledge and experience of every intern. Intern positions are limited and admissions are very competitive. Period and Duration of Internships ---------------------------------- Internships are typically 12-14 weeks long and held during the summer months (May-August), but internships at other times or those of longer duration are possible. Funding ------- All interns receive a monthly stipend, free (shared) housing, and travel to and from the institute hosting the internship. Application Deadlines for 2021 ------------------------------ - Early Deadline: 31 December, 2020 (for internships starting in May or June 2021) - Late Deadline: 31 January, 2021 (for internships starting in July or August 2021) For an internship starting at any other time of the year, apply at least 4 months before your intended started date. How to Apply ------------ Internship applications must be submitted online at https://cis.mpg.de/internships To apply, you will need to provide your CV, transcripts, contact information for at least one reference, and an optional motivation letter. You can also optionally indicate faculty members at the participating institutes (see below) with whom you would like to work and the period during which you would like to intern. Which MPIs participate? Where will the internships be? ------------------------------------------------------ The internship is held at one of the participating institutes. The participating institutes are: - Max Planck Institute for Informatics (Saabruecken) - Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (Kaiserslautern and Saarbruecken) - Max Planck Institute for Security & Privacy (Bochum) We understand that travel restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may prevent interns from traveling to Germany right now. In such a case, after an intern is selected, the intern and the mentor may agree mutually to complete the internship remotely. The intern will still be paid the monthly stipend. Further Details?
