Note to applicants

If you send unsolicited applications for internships, PhD positions, ..., not getting a response within a reasonable time frame should be interpreted as negative answer from our side. There are just too many requests to answer them individually. Also, please refrain from calling and asking about your application.

Currently, there are no internships available in our group.
