Research Visits and Summer Internships

We are happy to host outstanding PhD students who wish to spend some time in the group.

We also welcome master students who want to gain research experience and contribute to ongoing projects or do their thesis in our group. We generally do not offer summer internships for Bachelor students. The University of Stuttgart is a partner in several exchange programs such as Erasmus+, which enables students from abroad to study in Germany. While we do not provide financial support, there are mobility programs that help with funding (e.g. Erasmus+ Grant). Internships are typically between 3-6 months.

An interest in and/or previous work related to our research interests and topics is required. Write an email to . If you are interested in working with a specific member of our group, you should state that in your email.

Please include the following information in your application (preferably in a single pdf document):

• Curriculum Vitae
