The IPGP, one of leading Earth Science Institutes in the world, and the Mines Paristech, one of the top French Engineering Schools, have decided to jointly start an International Master of Research in Exploration Geophysics at advanced level.

The Master's course is for one year, from September to June. It will consist of the courses taught in the Fall Term, between September and December, and six months of research, January-June. The research project will be carried out at IPGP and partner institutions as well as in industry. The objective of this Master course is to train top-level exploration geophysicists, who will go on to carry out research either in academia (Ph.D.) or in industry. Several Ph.D. Fellowships will be available for the graduating students.

The courses will be taught by internationally renowned scientists who are actively engaged in research from IPGP, Mines ParisTech, TOTAL, Shell, CGG and Schlumberger. The teaching will be in English. Each student will receive a Fellowship of 1000 euros per month for 10 months.

Requirements: Minimum four years of undergraduate/master degree either in mathematics/physics/geophysics, or engineering with a strong interest in computing and fluency in English.

Start date: September 8, 2014
