Overview
Internships provide an opportunity for exceptionally well-qualified undergraduate and graduate students to take part in research projects at the MPI for Software Systems. Interns are expected to tackle new and challenging research problems in close collaboration with graduate students and faculty at the institute. Successful internships often result in coauthored publications at top academic conferences.
Details
Only a limited number of internship positions are available each year, and admissions are very competitive. Candidates are selected based on their academic achievements (e.g., honors, course grades, prior project experience) as well as their interest and motivation in pursuing original research in different areas of software systems. Selection process might also involve a phone interview with promising candidates.
Selected applicants receive monthly stipends during their stay. They are provided free housing by the institute, and are reimbursed for their travel expenses to the institute.
Internships typically last for 12 to 14 weeks during the summer. However, we do accept applications throughout the year. We also occasionally offer six month long internships.
Each deadline is for internships starting in a certain range of dates (e.g, May - August). Please do not apply until the deadline for your intended starting date has been announced.
