---- Apologies for cross-posting ----

In an exciting venture, the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics has created a new internship programme, targeting students from currently underrepresented communities. The Institute investigates information processing in the brain for which it uses experimental, theoretical and computational methods to study perception, memory, decision-making, motor performance and more, and to develop appropriate recording and imaging techniques. 

We now invite applications for a part-time position for a Coordinator of the Computation and Cognition Tübingen Summer Internship (CaCTüS internship) (m/f/d;). This position is limited until 31 October 2023 in the first instance.

The internship aims to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in animal, human and machine intelligence research by offering paid research stays to students from currently underrepresented groups to work on projects suggested and supervised by early career researchers. By providing hands-on research experience, access to first-class research facilities and scientific networks at the start of the students’ careers, the initiative counteracts systemic disadvantages and empowers students to continue their academic career and to develop their full potential.

Key Duties & Responsibilities: 
In your role as CaCTüS Coordinator you will be responsible for the implementation and the overall management of the internship. You will contribute to the planning, organisation, implementation and maintenance of the programme’s activities, systems and processes and serve as the point of contact for potential candidates/enrolled interns. You will also identify and assess further potential external funding opportunities and contribute to the strategic development and promotion of the initiative.
