Call for Applications: Max Planck Internship 2024

Max Planck Internship 2024

Research internships in all fields of computer science are available from the Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems (Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum).

Pursuing top-notch computer science research can be accomplished with an internship at a Max Planck Institute! Additionally, our internships are a great way to delve into new or unexplored fields of research.

Outstanding Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD candidates from across the world are eligible to apply for internships, as are outstanding members of the business community who want to gain experience in computer science research.

There are very few internship positions, and admissions are tough.

Although most interns prefer the summer, they are nevertheless welcome to work with us year-round. Each intern at a participating institute works closely with a designated academic mentor.

Projects for internships are determined by the intern’s academic interests, experience level, and maturity.

Every internship comes with full funding, which includes lodging, living expenses, and round-trip airfare. Although lengthier internships are possible, most internships last between 12 and 14 weeks.

For summer internships (those beginning in May through August), the application deadline is November 1st of the preceding year. If you submit an application before the deadline and it is accepted, you should hear from us by March 1st.

Please apply at least five months in advance of your anticipated start date if you are looking for an internship that begins outside of the summer.
