CRM-ISM Undergraduate Research Internships
Funded by the CRM and the Institut des Sciences Mathématiques (ISM), the CRM-ISM Undergraduate Research Internships give undergraduate students the opportunity to acquire research experience in a university or industrial environment while offering young researchers the chance to gain experience in research supervision.
These research internships are offered to undergraduate students in mathematics and statistics who are registered in one of the ISM member universities, namely, Concordia University, Université Laval, McGill University, Université de Montréal, UQAM, UQTR, Université de Sherbrooke, and Bishop’s University. They allow selected candidates to carry out research under the supervision of a postdoctoral fellow, a doctoral student or an assistant professor affiliated with one of the ISM member universities.
Program Benefits
- a research internship of 2 to 4 months ;
- a scholarship of $2,000 per month for the duration of the internship, half of which is provided by the CRM and the ISM and the other half by the supervisor’s research funds.
