PHD CANDIDATE FOR RADAR-BASED 4D IMAGING WITH ADVANCED MASSIVE-MIMO SIGNAL PROCESSING

Leave a comment

LOCATION: Luxembourg

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. The research, called “R4DAR,” aims to leverage emerging 4D imaging technology with Massive MIMO to create image-like radar observations in a more feasible way. The project focuses on addressing existing gaps in knowledge of Massive MIMO for radar, functional limitations, and sensing robustness while incorporating new features and achieving lower system costs.

INTERNSHIPS AT MAX PLANCK INSTITUTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: November 1, 2025

LOCATION: Germany

The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems (Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum) offer research internships in all areas of Computer Science. Internships are open to exceptional bachelor’s, master’s, and Doctoral students worldwide, as well as exceptional individuals from industry interested in gaining academic research experience in computer science. Intern positions are limited and admissions are very competitive

ELIGIBILITY:

Internships are open to exceptional bachelor’s, master’s, and Doctoral students worldwide with a basic background in Computer Science (roughly, the first three years of a standard Computer Science Bachelors program by the start of the internship) and an interest in CS research. Internship projects are customized to suit the backgrounds of individual interns.

Industry applicants with a similar background and an interest in academic CS research may also apply.

Students looking for Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis projects are also welcome to apply. The internship project can be converted to a thesis if the student’s university allows.

Internships are also an excellent opportunity for pre-doctoral students to explore computer science research prior to embarking on a research career.

We encourage applicants with diverse academic backgrounds and interdisciplinary interests, e.g. intersecting social science, economics, law, humanities, and others.

We particularly welcome applications from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups in CS or other STEM fields.

Our internships are very competitive, and all applicants are expected to have an excellent academic record, regardless of its length.

Please apply by the following deadlines:

For internships starting between May and August, apply by November 1 of the previous year

For internships starting at any other time of the year, apply at least 5 months before your intended starting date

Submit your application. Apply online at https://apply.cis.mpg.de/register/internship. You will need to provide your CV, transcripts, contact information for at least one reference, and an optional motivation letter. You can also optionally indicate faculty members at the participating institutes with whom you would like to work and the period during which you would like to intern. Note that we do not request references immediately and in all cases. Please do not write to us asking why your referee has not received a request for your letter.

Matching process. Research groups at participating institutes will review your application. During this period, you might be contacted for a phone interview.

Notification. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by email. If you are selected, you will also be put in touch with your assigned faculty mentor to finalize the exact dates of your internship and settle on an internship project. 

BENEFIT:

All internships are fully funded, covering living costs, housing and roundtrip travel costs. A typical internship lasts 12 to 14 weeks, but longer internships are possible.
