Conditions

Blocking requirements

  • Level of study

    “Master/Engineer (Bac+5)”

    Official text (French): Master/Ingénieur (Bac+5)

Assets

  • Connaissances en pédologie

    “Knowledge of pedology would be a plus”

    Official text (French): Des connaissances en pédologie seraient un plus

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is “Python”: this internship is judged first on the tooling, before even the soil topic. The note that pedology would be a “plus” shows that the recruiter is primarily looking for someone who can handle data and produce a clean spatial analysis. The right move is to show a concrete project using R, QGIS, or ArcGIS in the CV and cover letter, rather than listing courses. Submit a file that proves technical autonomy, not just interest in the topic.
