Description
This end-of-studies internship in Master 2 is designed to put the student in a pre-professional situation, in an academic research laboratory or an industrial research and development laboratory, in France or abroad.
The student will look for a host team in an academic environment in the institutes of the Chemistry Pole of the University of Montpellier (ICGM, IEM, IBMM...), in academic laboratories outside the University of Montpellier (in France or abroad) or in the private sector working in the field of materials. The research project on which the student will work will have been validated beforehand by the teaching team in order to ensure that the internship subject is in line with the Master's courses, the skills and expertise acquired during the previous semesters and the teaching units followed in particular in semester 9 according to the chosen orientation. Furthermore, the teaching staff will make sure that the internship will take place in an environment and with adequate means.
This 5 to 6 month internship may begin in mid-January after the exam session and may not exceed 6 months in semester 10.
