[engg-enci-l at mailman.ucalgary.ca]

RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) is a *summer 
internship program* for undergraduate students in the fields of 
*sciences and engineering*. It offers unique opportunities for 
undergraduate students to work with research groups at universities and 
top research institutions across Germany for a period of 2 to 3 months 
during the summer. RISE interns *are matched with doctoral students* 
whom they assist and who serve as their mentors. The working language 
will be English. All scholarship holders receive stipends from the DAAD  
(German Academic Exchange Service) to help cover living expenses, while 
partner universities and research institutes provide housing assistance.

*The APPLICATION DEADLINE is JANUARY 31, 2011.  Applications are 
submitted online*.

To apply for a RISE placement for summer 2011 you must:

    * be currently enrolled at a university/college in the United
      States, Canada or the UK as a full-time student in the field of
      biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences or engineering (or a
      closely related field),
    * be an undergraduate who will have completed at least 2 years of a
      degree program by the time of the placement (graduates and
      graduate students from US or Canada should refer to RISE /pro/
      <http://www.daad.de/rise-pro/en/index.html>),
    * prove that you will be registered as an undergraduate at your
      university/college for the academic year 2011/2012 (i.e., that you
      will still have undergraduate status upon your return to your home
      university).

German language skills are not required for most positions but would be 
helpful to manage everyday life outside of the laboratory. The working 
language will generally be English.
