The Max Planck research internship 2027 at the Institute for Infection Biology is a three-month programme for eligible international bachelor’s and master’s students.
Dates and financial support
Despite its Summer Internship name, this intake runs from 1 September to 30 November 2027. The institute lists a €1,400 stipend, travel compensation and accommodation support. The stipend frequency is not specified; it should not be assumed to be monthly. Housing should not be assumed free.
Max Planck research internship 2027 eligibility
Applicants must remain enrolled, have strong academic performance and relevant life-science knowledge, and communicate well in English. Bachelor’s students need at least four completed semesters at application. The programme seeks students whose access to high-quality education is constrained by personal, financial, regional or societal circumstances. It is voluntary and cannot fulfil required course credits.
Documents and deadline
Apply by 27 November 2026. Prepare a CV of up to two pages, the prescribed motivation template, a recommendation, transcripts and relevant degree records; use English translations where required. Follow the application guide and online portal rather than emailing an application.
What experience is offered?
Interns work on supervised research and develop skills relevant to future doctoral applications. Applicants must be available for the entire placement.
Explain the fit with a specific project
Read the available projects before writing a motivation statement. Identify what interests you about the research question and which parts of your studies prepare you to contribute. Discuss a previous project honestly, including your own role and what you learned. A narrow, well-supported explanation is stronger than claiming expertise in every listed method.
Describe barriers with care
The programme asks applicants to explain constraints affecting access to research education. Describe relevant circumstances accurately and connect them to what this experience would help you develop. You do not need to turn the statement into a dramatic personal narrative. Follow the form’s prompts and avoid including unnecessary private information about other people.
Prepare a complete evidence set
Use a checklist for academic records, the CV, motivation material and reference. Ask the referee early and provide the project information so the reference can be relevant. Review the official templates and word limits before uploading. Keep the submitted files together; an incomplete application cannot be repaired simply by assuming the organisers will request missing items.
Do not assume a stipend payment frequency
The programme page gives a stipend figure without clearly stating its frequency. Ask the programme to confirm how and when it is paid before building a monthly budget. Likewise, clarify how accommodation and travel support are arranged. The existence of support does not justify booking travel before receiving the formal offer and instructions.
Compare the right opportunity
Bayer offers a different model of research-placement support. Compare academic eligibility, host arrangements and permitted activities before deciding whether either programme fits your circumstances. Read our Bayer scientific fellowship guide for the separate eligibility and application process.
Official application information
Read the official opportunity and application instructions.
Prepare your application against the organiser’s requirements, rather than relying on the headline alone. Check that documents are complete and that the application reaches the specified destination before the deadline. An application does not guarantee selection.
