Getting your research started
If you are a graduate or undergraduate student and you would like to pursue a research career, we offer several opportunities in our institute, such as doing a Bachelor or Master thesis with us. We also accept official curricular internships, valid for universities. Most of the topics for Bachelor or Master thesis can be possibly downscaled for an internship project. Please bear in mind that we cannot host informal or summer internships.

JAE Intro Programme
The JAE Intro programme offers grants at CSIC centres (CSIC-owned, mixed or partner units) aimed at university students interested in starting a research career.
This scholarship programme provides an approach to a research career to those students who want to take their first steps in research.
