Radius Development Centre within reach of knowledge

With us, you will test your knowledge from school while working at top scientific institutions and with our partners from the private sector. You will get the opportunity to work on projects that can change everyday life, you will work with the most modern equipment and you will learn from leading experts in their fields. Thanks to that, you can start your career and shoot for the stars! It is exactly all this that the internship at the Radius Development Centre can bring you.

We offer internships in the following fields:

Models of internships we offer:

Model Individual

You will sign up individually for a topic that interests you. We will connect you with the topic supervisor, align expectations on how you will work together, and agree on the terms. The advantage of this model is that you are in direct contact with the topic supervisor and develop independently. You will learn to start and complete tasks entirely on your own, as well as defend the outcomes of your project.

Model Project

Are there several of you considering an internship topic? Are you a group of enthusiastic students with similar or shared interests? That’s more than cool 😊.

We can arrange a group internship! We’ll prepare an internship project where multiple interns can collaborate. Alternatively, you can apply for one of the available topics, and then it’s on us to figure out the best way to organize it so that your group can work together. You’d be professionally guided by the internship supervisor and a junior researcher (typically a Ph.D. student), forming a close-knit team that communicates, tackles a specialized topic, and works on development or implementation.

The benefit of this internship model is that you can learn from one another, offer mutual support, and build each other up.

What to prepare for

The first opportunity to discuss the topic of the internship takes place online and in the presence of HR and the guarantor of the announced topic. The meeting usually takes 30 minutes. In general – fortune favors the prepared. To know what you want to say during the meeting, focus on what is relevant and important to emphasize. Be prepared for Q&As about yourself, to summarise your current working/ studying status and what goals, shortly you are going to achieve. It is also important to be ready to answer motivational questions, i.e. what do you like in general, what do you enjoy in your career way, why did you decide to apply for the internship at all? We are also interested in what and how you can work within fields of IT or laboratory methods, materials, etc. Everything depends on the topic and your area of expertise.

The preferred language used to communicate in working teams is English, don’t worry about the language barrier. The scientific environment is full of expats from different parts of the world, so English joins us.

We welcome everyone interested and we encourage everybody who wants to join us. We offer flexibility in the length and duration of internships and we aim at the potential for long-term collaboration.

Note: The quality and homogeneity of the selection procedure are ensured through HR partners/specialists who provide professional and methodological support to all applicants.
