The Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx), affiliated with the Department of Physics of the Université de Montréal (UdeM), offers summer internships for undergraduate students from Canadian universities each year. Our program of excellence has included the Trottier Research Grants since 2015 and the Sureau Science Communication Grant since 2022.

The procedure to apply is detailed on our website. The deadline this year is December 20, 2023.

The summer internships last 4 months (May to August). They are a unique opportunity for students at the undergraduate level to join iREx’s dynamic team and to get involved in cutting-edge research in astrophysics or work in science communication. Interns will be able to actively participate in breakthrough scientific and outreach programs linked to exoplanets and related topics.
