mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">The sciences of biological and
artificial intelligence are rapidly growing research fields that
need enthusiastic minds with a keen interest in solving
challenging questions. The Max Planck Institutes for Biological
Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems as well as the AI Center in
Tübingen & Stuttgart (Germany) offer up to 10 students at
the Bachelor or Master level paid three-months internships
during the summer of 2024. Successful applicants will work with
top-level scientists on research projects spanning machine
learning, electrical engineering, theoretical neuroscience,
behavioral experiments, robotics and data analysis. The CaCTüS
Internship is aimed at young scientists who are held back by
personal, financial, regional or societal constraints to help
them develop their research careers and gain access to
first-class education. The program is designed to foster
inclusion, diversity, equity and access to excellent scientific
facilities. We specifically encourage applications from students
living in low- and middle-income countries which are currently
underrepresented in the Max Planck Society research community.</span></p>
