Internships
All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, colour, religion or national origin. However, each year the committee aims at granting at least one third of the internships female researchers. We especially encourage female researchers to apply for the internships programming.
Applications
Start and end dates are flexible with regard to academic schedules, but you will be expected to commit to three consolidated months of full-time work. Please note that if you need to apply for a visa, the completion of the application procedure might be time consuming.
Visa
To enter The Netherlands you might need a visa. Whether you need a visa, residence permit and/or a working permit is based on your nationality. The Personnel & Organization department (P&O) of CWI will guide you through the whole procedure, step by step.
