Project in molecular sciences II

Objective: Become familiar to theoretical and/or practical approaches applied by chemists

→ Alternatively, students can complete a Minor (one cannot do both)
Requirement:

Having done two semesters of master studies
Duration:

The whole semester:

  • EPFL/ partner universities: 17 weeks (→ PDM either @EPFL, partner universities or industry)
  • Industry: 25 weeks (→ PDM @EPFL/ partner universities)
Location:

@EPFL, partner universities or industry

  • EPFL ISIC research lab
  • Other EPFL institutes
  • Other partner universities → with EPFL ISIC supervisor
  • Industry → with EPFL ISIC supervisor/ Prof. Heinis: consult moodle, the internship platform on isa and the “Trainings on job hunting” section below

Supervisor: main responsibility is to enter the Pass or Fail on isa at the end of the project, based on your direct supervisor feedback.
By agreeing to supervise a project, supervisor validates its suitability for an EPFL student in chemistry.

Proposals for special projects are also available
Credits 30 (pass or fail)
Deliverables:

Supervisor:

– Evaluation form to be filled (for  projects carried @EPFL, if successful, this is not necessary)

– Enter Pass or Fail into ISA

Very useful short trainings are proposed to students:

  • Course 1: understanding the recruiter
  • Course 2: CV sections
  • Course 3: cover letter
  • Course 4: job interview
  • Course 5: communication and organisation at work

Registration is mandatory at https://bookwhen.com/stages

NB: Courses 1 to 3 are usually given in the Autumn semester. Exceptionally, these trainings could be repeated in Spring upon request. The coordination office provides support to students to help them search for their laboratory training for chemists.
