“Applications are accepted on a continuous basis, therefore there is no central deadline.”
Desk notes
This is the route ISTA itself points to now that ISTernship is paused (see dead_doors). You email the group leader directly; appointment is 'subject to the availability of sufficient funds for the salary of the scientific intern', so it is paid when offered, but the amount is not printed. Portal registration must be done at least 2 months before the start date.
