ISTA’s scientific internship route accepts rolling applications for research placements of two to twelve months. The minimum advertised salary is €1,583 gross per month.
Find a research host first
Eligible current students or recent graduates must secure agreement from a host research group. Identify a suitable group and contact it about your interests and available dates before proceeding with the formal application.
Conditions and timing
Applications should reach the portal at least two months before the intended start. Restrictions apply to simultaneous external funding and other employment. Gross salary is before applicable deductions, not take-home pay.
Choose the correct programme
This is the scientific-internship employment route, not the separate ISTernship summer programme, which is suspended for 2026/2027. Read the official scientific internship page for eligibility and the next steps after host approval.
