Dear all,
*Please find below details of our Remote Internship with DMAD this autumn.* Unfortunately many countries still have their borders closed and it is currently almost impossible to travel safely due to the outbreak of COVID-19, but that doesn't mean that you can't benefit from our knowledge and develop your career or get help with your thesis remotely. Students, graduates, career changers etc can receive both research and public outreach experience working with the DMAD team. http://www.dmad.org.tr/remote-internships WHO ARE DMAD AND WHAT DO WE DO?
