Unsolicited applications
Unsolicited applications may be sent to the individuals identified by a candidate. The pages for the three departments provide an overview of the various research activities and the people in charge of them.
Applications for a department as a whole may also be sent to the department heads—Marc Vallet for DOP and Yannick Dumeige for SP—and to the address for OHM.
In all cases, be sure to specify the dates of your internship, your scientific interests, and your motivations and potential skills relevant to the internship for which you are applying. You may attach a CV as well as any other document relevant to the assessment of your profile.
Please pay close attention to the location of the individuals or departments being contacted (Rennes or Lannion) to avoid initiating unnecessary procedures.
Worker internships (L1 and L2 levels)
You can apply for a manual/technical internship within the OHM department of the FOTON Institute (at INSA Rennes) via this mailing list: . Your application will be forwarded to potential supervisors in the department.
Please attach a CV and clearly specify your internship dates and areas of interest in your application.
Observation internships (middle and high school students)
We host middle and high school students for observation internships in our various departments, subject to capacity. Internship requests should be sent to the department heads—Marc Vallet for DOP and Yannick Dumeige for SP—and to the address for OHM.
