Would you like to do an internship with us? We welcome highly motivated students with good organizational skills and strong interests in quantitative ecology, behavioural ecology or evolutionary ecology. Master students in biology, ecology, entomology, limnology and related fields to join us for their intership. Students interested in experimental work are particularly encouraged to apply. Previous experience with aquatic invertebrates, lab experiments, data curation and statistical analyses (e.g. in R) is a plus.

Stipend: Successful candidates will need to secure most or all of their funds. ERASMUS SPM (Student Mobility for Placement) or another similar European scholarship or a 'bourse de mobilité internationale sur critères sociaux' is enough to cover basic living costs and shared accommodation in student dormitories or in private for the entire duration of the stay. Very good performance may be supported with an additional Czech stipend. For more information about major French scholarships see here, here, here and here. Some information can also be found here for European applicants.
