About
The sciences of biological and artificial intelligence are rapidly growing research fields that need enthusiastic minds with a keen interest in solving challenging questions. The Max Planck Institutes forBiological Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems and the Tübingen AI Center offer up to 12 students at the Bachelor or Master level paid three-months internships during the summer of 2026. Successful applicants will work with top-level scientists on research projects spanning machine learning, electrical engineering, theoretical neuroscience, behavioral experiments and data analysis.
The CaCTüS Internship is aimed at young scientists who are held back by personal, financial, regional or societal constraints to help them develop their research careers and gain access to first-class education. The program is designed to promote diverse viewpoints, equality of opportunity, and access to excellent scientific facilities.
We specifically encourage applications from students living in low- and middle-income countries which are currently underrepresented in our research community.
