Description
This end-of-studies Master 2 internship is designed to place students in a pre-professional situation, in an academic research laboratory or an industrial R&D laboratory, in France or abroad.
The student will be looking 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 materials field. The research project on which the student will be working will have been validated beforehand by the teaching team, to ensure that the internship subject is in line with the Master's courses, the skills and expertise acquired in previous semesters and the teaching units taken, particularly in semester 9, depending on the orientation chosen. The teaching team will also ensure that the internship takes place in an appropriate environment and with adequate resources.
This 5 to 6 month internship may start in mid-January after the exam session, and may not exceed 6 months in semester 10.
