Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « conventionné »: this is not a loosely arranged internship, it requires a formal agreement and regular on-site presence. The other signal not to miss is the request for « motivation, training and availability »: the team wants a file that proves academic fit and schedule feasibility, not a long letter. If you are in a Master 2, show right away what makes you autonomous in data analysis, because that is often where applications are separated. Prepare a short, precise file, send it with the exact subject line to both addresses, and make sure you can stay in Montpellier for six months.
