The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is looking for highly qualified Bachelor’s or Master’s students in the fields of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry & Materials, Computer Science, Data Science & Scientific Computing, Earth Science, Mathematics, Physics, Neuroscience and interdisciplinary areas to apply for the ISTernship program. The ISTernship (“ISTA-” + “(int)ernship”) is a summer program for students from all over the world who are looking to expand their scientific research experience. Every summer since 2013, students join the ISTernship program and work closely with our faculty or a lab member on a short research project. As part of the application, prospective participants choose a research group to work in, and successful applicants agree on a research project with the group leader for 2-3 months. Upon arrival, ISTerns receive an introduction to research at ISTA as well as an introduction to the ISTA Graduate School. The program culminates with a research symposium, where ISTerns present their work to peers, faculty, and lab mentors. Internships are full-time, compensated, and will be conducted exclusively in English. The application deadline for the 2025 ISTernship is February 5, 2025.
