Internships

Internships for Women


Within our equal opportunity program, we offer a limited number of internship positions for M.Sc. and advanced B.Sc. students who identify as women. These internships would provide opportunities to work with mentors from the RTG.

Internships can be as long as 3 months and should not be shorter than 1 month.

The internships are financially supported with a stipend of 450 Euro per months and up to 200 Euro travel allowance to come to Jena or Leipzig.

Internships will typically take place during the university semesters (April to July, October to January), but flexibility can be discussed with the supervisor. Applications can be submitted any time. Applicants should state a preference for one or more principal investigators, acting as a supervisor for the internship. The committee will consider the applications received every two months.
