MPIIB International Summer Internship 2027

The Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology offers a three-month research placement in Berlin. The programme is intended to help students who face barriers to higher education gain lab experience and prepare for doctoral study.

The programme is aimed at bachelor’s and master’s students in biology, medicine or a related subject. It particularly encourages applicants from low- and middle-income countries and students who can explain barriers they have faced.

The institute lists a stipend, travel compensation and housing near the institute. Consult its funding section for the current stipend schedule and housing arrangements.

Read the institute’s project and eligibility information. Prepare to explain why infection biology interests you, what you have already studied and how the placement would help you take your next academic step. Follow the official checklist by 27 November 2026.
