Graduate Students

Though we may not always have available positions, we are always interested in hearing from motivated perspective PhD students.

Note: PhD students need to apply to the ISTA Graduate School first. Graduate students are admitted once a year after a general application process and affiliate with a particular group officially only by the end of their first year. If you are interested in a PhD thesis or rotation in our group, do not hesitate to contact us for possible projects in advance.

Interns

We offer experimental as well as theoretical projects funded through the ISTA ISTernship program. Interested students are encouraged to apply through the official website. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss possible projects.

At the moment, we do not offer internship positions outside of the ISTernship program. Nevertheless, interested individuals are encouraged to get in touch with us for potential future opportunities with a later starting date.

Update: As of December 3rd 2025, the ISTernship program has been paused.
