Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « L2 »: this is not just a lab detail, it is the filter that separates an informed candidate from someone who discovers the internship’s constraints too late. The application should therefore show, right in the letter, that you are able to work in a regulated experimental setting and that your training prepares you for it. Then keep the application concise: an email-based submission works best when it goes straight to the point, without dispersion. The concrete step is to send a CV clearly focused on molecular biology and a short letter linking your background to the poplar wood topic and the L2 framework.

Countries covered

Applicants should be at Master/Engineer level (Bac+5), able to work in French and take part in experimentation in a confined environment (L2). The most important point is scientific fit with molecular biology, with an added advantage for plant biology and protein biochemistry. Applications are sent by email with a CV and a motivation letter, so the file must be immediately readable.
