[Physics opps] FW: RISE and RISE professional internships at German research institutes and companies

[8-opps@mit.edu]

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will again offer the RISE
(Research Internships in Science and Engineering) at German universities and
research institutes for undergrads, and RISE professional internships for
seniors and graduate students in German companies. Scholarships are awarded
to American and Canadian undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE
professional) in the sciences and engineering.

 

RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research
projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and
universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in a
unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into hands on
lab work and built-in social network with an excellent opportunity to
develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a scholarship to
cover living expenses. RISE interns are not only exposed to advanced
research but have the rare opportunity to  learn about Germany from the
inside as they  make new friends, establish professional contacts and spend
weekends exploring the heart of Europe. Online registration and the
internship database for RISE both open on December 8th.

 

RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD
students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a well-known
German company, where they gain insight into the professional applications
of science and engineering and develop practical skills. Internships can
last from 1.5 to 6 months. Similar to RISE, this new program features a
scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration is currently
available, but the internship database will open on November 1st. 

 

To find out about eligibility and the application process as well as to read
reports from past participants, please visit: www.daad.de/rise and
www.daad.de/rise-pro. Please note students may only apply for one of the two
programs and not for both at the same time. Please email all queries about
RISE and RISE professional to: rise at daad.de and rise-pro at daad.de
respectively.
