Protocol Security Intern

As part of our mission to advance blockchain systems, interns will contribute to bleeding edge research that spans computer science, distributed systems, crypto-economics, and mechanism design. This program offers a unique opportunity to work closely with Ethereum Foundation researchers, their collaborators, and other contributors across the ecosystem, tackling both foundational and applied research challenges. Interns will also have opportunities to share their findings through ethresear.ch , academic publications, or conference submissions helping shape the future of Ethereum. Interns can choose to work remotely but are encouraged to work out of an EF office (likely Berlin, Germany). The duration of the internship is 12 weeks during summer 2026.
