Paid Internship at IBM for Students from Europe, Middle East and Africa

Students from Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa are welcome to apply for the Great Minds initiative. This is a competition for 3 to 6-month internships at one of the IBM Research Labs in Zurich, Nairobi, or Johannesburg. The deadline is on 16 February 2018.

The initiative provides students with the unique opportunity to work alongside world-class scientists in the leading industrial IT research organization. The internships will take place in 2018. The exact starting time and duration will be agreed upon with the winning students individually, taking into account their academic commitments and the availability of IBM staff.

IBM will pay the winners a lump sum towards travel expenses as well as compensation that covers adequately the cost of living in Switzerland, Kenya or South Africa, respectively. IBM will also obtain the necessary visa and work permits for the successful candidates.
