“There
are fascinating problems in many different areas of science.
Trying to solve them in interdisciplinary teams is very
exciting and a lot of fun.” Andrea Decker |

Graduate students
| In cases where universities allow their students to pursue a doctorate degree in an industrial research setting, we offer students pre-doctoral positions, typically for a period of three years. Such students work 60% of their time on an IBM project while devoting the rest to background research and to writing their thesis. Their IBM project and the subject of their dissertation are closely related. The doctorate work is supervised jointly by a faculty member and a qualified researcher of our Lab. | ||

“As
a doctoral student at ZRL, you are connected to a vast
network of people and resources throughout IBM, which is
very helpful for succeeding in industry-relevant research.” Ksenia Ryndina |

Undergraduate students
| Bachelor's or Master's (Diplom)
thesis In cases where universities allow or even require it, we also host undergraduate students for the duration of their Bachelor's or Master's (Diplom) thesis, typically for a period of six months. These students work full-time on a project that fits in with our research objectives. We ensure that this work is acceptable to the university as a suitable undergraduate thesis topic. |
