The PhELM Master Program includes two internships of different duration.

 

The first internship (10 ECTS) will take place in M1S2 and has a minimum duration of 2 months with the possibility of paid extension.

 

The second internship (30 ECTS) is in M2S2 and will last at least five months.

 

The objective of the internships is to bring students closer to applied and fundamental research in the field of physics of living matter and biological systems (from the molecule to the organisms and possibly also populations of organisms). This experience will be the springboard for students after the Master whether they decide to go into public or private research. In addition, these internships represent an excellent opportunity to learn and deepen directly several experimental and theoretical techniques (physics and biology) addressed in the courses.

 

Students will need to be proactive in their search for internships but benefit from an interdisciplinary teaching team and a network of well-established research institutions in the Montpellier area. Internships will take place in research laboratories, supervised by teacher-researchers and researchers from the host research teams. Talented students may also aspire to internships in companies or abroad.

 

You will find below a non-exhaustive list of the research laboratories that have hosted our students in the past:

 

• Laboratoire Charles Coulomb (L2C)

• Centre de Biochimie Structurale (CBS)

• Institut Européen des Membranes (IEM)

• Centre de Recherche en Biologie Cellulaire de Montpellier (CRBM)

• Physico-Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, Paris

• Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique (LiPhy), Grenoble

• Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
