We are always looking for passionate and talented students eager to join our ambitious and hard-working team. Longer internships are preferred (e.g. 6-12 months), even though applications for shorter periods may be also considered. According to their skills and interests accepted students will be assigned lab-based or computational projects. In addition to their main projects, students are encouraged to take on side-projects, for which they are the main responsible person. Students are closely supervised by the project leaders.
The lab has clear authorship and contribution guidelines: As a general rule, work completed during an internship is acknowledged in the relevant publications and accompanied by letters of recommendation, but it does not typically warrant co-authorship. Co-authorship is reserved for contributions that go beyond standard tasks—for example, developing novel analytical approaches or making intellectual contributions that substantially shape the project in ways the lab could not have achieved otherwise. In cases where a student continues to contribute significantly beyond the agreed internship period, authorship is of course considered. So far this has led to a students becoming co-authors and in one case even a first-authorship (students thesis became the article).
The Genzel lab has a mixture of international and local students. We promote a supportive work environment where to have fun and carry out excellent scientific research. Overall lab members have come from 38 different countries: Albania Argentina Aruba Belgium Brazil Bulgaria China Chile Colombia Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Egypt Finland France Georgia Germany Greece Hungary India Indonesia Iran Italy Ireland Lithuania Morocco Mexico Mongolia Moldova Netherlands Nigeria North Macedonian Norway Poland Romania Russia Spain South Africa Sri Lanka Taiwan Turkey Ukraine United Kingdom United States Uzbekistan Vietnam. We provide a friendly environment, and like to have a social life, in addition to hard work in science.
