You are at the beginning of your studies, or already in the middle, and are looking for an opportunity to combine theory with practice? Then Fraunhofer IESE offers you various possibilities to get a glimpse at the world of research and to work in a scientific and industry-oriented manner at the same time. You can join us at a student research assistant (HiWi), do an internship with us, or write your final thesis.

Student Research Assistants

Are you looking for a part-time job that matches the content of your studies and can also be flexibly aligned with your lecture times and exam dates? Then a job as a student research assistant (HiWi) at Fraunhofer IESE is just the right thing for you. In such a job, you will support our researchers for up to 20 hours per week in implementing their research and development projects, or you could work in the communication department, for example. This allows you to gain valuable practical experience and, thanks to the flexible and individually arranged working hours, your studies will still have top priority.
