DAAD is pleased to announce that for summer 2010 we will again offer the RISE in North America program. We are looking for researchers in science and engineering in the U.S. and Canada to host the German RISE interns coming to North America during that time.
The RISE in North America interns will, like their counterparts in Germany, assist in research and lab work. The interns, who are students in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences (geology), engineering, or a closely related field, receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs.
Why host a German intern? Participating researchers receive invaluable assistance with their own work. They profit both professionally and personally from contact with the RISE in North America interns by getting a chance to deepen their knowledge of the culture, lifestyle and higher education system in Germany. PhD students are especially encouraged to participate because they, in particular, can benefit by learning how to guide and serve as a mentor to younger students. The program also offers an excellent opportunity to establish academic partnerships with universities in Germany or to intensify already existing transatlantic networks.
Research groups interested in hosting a German research assistant in the summer of 2010 are invited to participate in RISE in North America and to submit project proposals at: www.daad.de/rise-northamerica. The time frame for the submission of project proposals is November 9th, 2009 to January 11th, 2010.
