interface is looking for a student assistant to support its Global Chip Dynamics Programme as soon as possible, working 15-20 hours per week. The positions can be carried out remotely from Germany.

interface is an independent expert organisation specialising in information technology and public policy. Our goal is to ensure that political decision-makers have the expertise and ideas necessary to create policies and make decisions that put the public interest first.

Our Global Chip Dynamics Programme examines how Europe can strengthen its role in the global semiconductor value chain while advancing climate and environmental goals. Our research brings together two closely connected areas:

Technological competitiveness and geopolitics: We analyse Europes position in the global chip ecosystem, the effects of geopolitical tensions, and the policies needed to build resilient semiconductor supply chains.

Sustainability: We examine the environmental footprint of semiconductor production and use, and how policy can support a more sustainable chip industry. This includes their dual role in enabling the green transition while consuming resources and generating emissions. Our energy and AI research explores how Europe can align the expansion of AI infrastructure and data centres with electricity supply, grid capacity and climate goals.

Across both areas, we develop policy recommendations for European and national decision-makers. Because the semiconductor value chain is global and highly interdependent, our work also looks at opportunities for international cooperation. We engage with policymakers, industry, academia and civil society to identify approaches that combine technological competitiveness with environmental sustainability.

As a student assistant, you will support this research and help turn findings into accessible policy publications and expert discussions. The role offers an opportunity to gain practical experience at the intersection of technology policy, geopolitics and sustainability.

The position is part-time, with 15-20 hours per week and is initially offered for six months or for the duration of the current semester. The contract may be extended to a maximum total duration of two years, provided you remain enrolled as a regular student. You will work remotely with team members based in Berlin and Brussels.
