iPROGRESS - Internship Program for Young Research Scientists

from Germany and the countries of HAP-associated partners - Argentina, France, The Netherlands, Russia, USA - to work in one of the HAP-related experiments.

The Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Physics (HAP) offers scholarships for young researchers (master and PhD students according to the German university system or equivalent degree) to gain international experience in the field of astroparticle physics.

Young scientists from abroad can apply for a research visit at a German institution and scientists affiliated in Germany for a research visit at an institution in Argentina, France, The Netherlands, Russia, or USA where at least the host institution for the visit is either a HAP member institution, a HAP associated partner or an official collaborator of one of the HAP-related experiments. At the bottom of this page you can see a list of previous iPROGRESS participants.

Applicants must have completed at least 3 years or are master students of a university, or are PhD students or do have an equivalent degree. The period of visit is up to 2 months for a master student and up to 1 month for a PhD student. The scholarship amounts to 650.‐ € per month for a master and to 1,000.‐ € per month for a PhD student, plus a lump sum for travel expenditure of 400.‐ €, or is at least in accordance with the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) rules.

Applications consist of a CV together with a project description for the visit coordinated between the candidate, his/her supervisor, and the contact person at the host institute. All documents shall be written in English by the candidate. Prerequisite for an application is good spoken English by the applicant. Applications can be submitted at any time.

The applications shall be submitted (preferably electronically) to the administration of HAP:
