In addition of being one of the top engineering schools in France, the ESPCI ParisTech is also a leading research institution and as such provides numerous opportunities for research internships for French and foreign students.

Typically the majority of the internships are proposed in the spring (from February to June/July) and are targeted at Master's level students, with some option to pursue toward a PhD afterwards. However research internships can be sometimes offered at other times if the year and for student of a different academic level. The best way to apply is to contact directly the researchers of the school or to consult the websites of the laboratories.

Interns are paid 400 euros/month and travel expenses are generally not provided. Therefore additional personal funding is necessary to finance such internships.

List of laboratories pages offering internships directly :

• Laboratory of Photons and Matter
• Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Polymers and Divided Matter

Most of these offers are in French. If interested please contact directly the main scientist in charge of the project. Google translate can help you to figure out roughly the content.
