Application Conditions
You need to be at least 18 years old to apply for an internship at the WSC. At the time of the internship, you must either be enrolled at a University, have successfully applied for a mobility program (e.g. Erasmus+), or be a student at the Vetmeduni Vienna animal care school.
We accept applications for internships all year long (no deadlines).
Please send your application (CV & letter of motivation) in English or German to internships@wolfscience.at. Do not forget to mention in which time period you are available.
After a screening, interns will start with a one-month trial period. If that works mutually well, the internship continues for the full time period.
Accommodation
For a monthly rent of € 253,00 (in 2023; is adjusted yearly) we offer accommodation in our internship apartment (3km away from the Wolf Science Center) where you will share your living space with up to 5 other interns.
As usual for a shared household, everyone has to contribute to keeping it tidy.
We ask for your understanding that it is not possible to bring pets.
Smoking is prohibited in all rooms and in the enclosures and research facilities in general.
Vaccinations
Due to the work outside and with the animals, a valid Tetanus and TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) vaccination received well BEFORE your arrival is mandatory for working at the WSC. Please bring your vaccination record.
Insurance
All interns have to have their own, in Austria valid health and accident insurance for the entire duration of their stay. If you are an EU citizen, please check with your provider that your health insurance is active for Austria. If you do not have any, there are many possible insurance providers: search for “Visitor Health Insurance Austria” or “Travel Insurance longer stay Austria”. For example: EU/Schengen-Visum-Reiseversicherung

We have multiple scientific partners researching at our institution. If you are interested in a scientific internship, please send us your application and we will forward it to our scientific partners.
Other Internships
If you are interested in another kind of internship, e.g. in the commercial and administrative sector or in the artistic field, please send us a request (internships@wolfscience.at).
