GRAL Master 2 research scolarship program for 2025-2026

In the framework of the recently funded EUR “Grenoble Graduate School in Chemistry, Biology and Health” (CBH-EUR-GS), the LABEX-GRAL funds Master 2 research scholarships. in GRAL labs of the IRIG institute (IBS, BCI, BGE, CBM, and PCV).
The amount of the scholarship is 5000 € paid during the 1st semester and an internship grant (‘gratification de stage‘) during the research internship (ca. 550€ per month).

The 2026-2027 IBS Master 2 internship topics eligible for GRAL funding are listed below:

Mapping protein complexes in their cellular environment using cryo-electron tommography, Daniel Orozco and Irina Gutsche (IBS/MICA) ;
De novo design of antithrombotic peptides, Corinne Deniaud-Vives (IBS/MEMBRANE)
In situ cryo-FIB-tomography study of coat assembly during bacterial sporulation, Benoit Gallet and Cecile Morlot

These three positions have already been FILLED.
