Pupils and students

In the framework of career guidance or your studies, practical experience forms an important introduction to your future career. At the same time, as a research institute, we need junior researchers so that our innovations can continue to make an important social contribution in future. Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology is always looking for talents and creative minds that want to contribute their ideas and implement them together with us. Experience working with us and get to know our research fields in an ideal environment. We offer the following internship models:

• High school student or orientation internship: This offer is aimed at high school students who are about to graduate or have recently graduated and would like to complete an internship to help them choose a career path. Once a year, during the winter break in Saxony, Fraunhofer IZI organizes a one-week internship during which several interns are supervised as a group. Internship positions are advertised in November / December on the Fraunhofer IZI job market. Please note that due to applicable occupational safety regulations and genetic engineering safety regulations, we can only offer student internships in our laboratory areas to individuals aged 16 and above.
• Internship during university studies: University students whose study regulations require an internship or practical semester, or who would like to do a voluntary internship during their studies, have the opportunity to do so with us. Current enrollment at a college or university is required for the internship.

Would you like to start your career with the leading organisation for applied research worldwide? Then invest in your future – by joining as a student or research assistant. In your work, you will gain insights into the day-to-day work at a research institution and get to know our structures and processes in the scientific-technical and commercial divisions. We value long-term cooperation and offer you varied work in different scientific subjects as well as in our service departments, such as IT and administration. As an enrolled student at a university or college, you can help us out in these roles.

You would like to work in science and gather project experience at the same time? You are certain that you want to use the skills you have acquired during your studies for a specific research project for your final project? Fraunhofer IZI is always looking for students to work on fascinating topics as part of final projects and theses or master’s dissertations. In addition to an innovative work environment and the far-reaching possibility to arrange your working time autonomously, one of our strongest points is ensuring personal support.
