International Master of Research in Exploration Geophysics

Employer

Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France

Description

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.

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.

Candidate 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.

About the employer

The Institute of Earth Physics of Paris is a research and educational institution
Its mission is to achieve research and provide education in the fields of geosciences but the institute is also in charge of monitoring the natural phenomena. The institute conducts research in all the fields of studies of the solid Earth (geophysics, geochemistry, and quantitative geology) by combining observations on land and at sea, from laboratory analysis to the construction of conceptual, analogical and numerical models.
Current developments direct towards new and promising fields such as terrestrial materials under extreme conditions, the primitive Earth and its first billion years, the interfaces between solid ground and fluid envelopes, the interactions between Earth and life sciences.
The study of the natural risks includes the responsibility for the monitoring of the three French active volcanoes ("La Soufrière" of Guadeloupe - Mount "Pelée" - in Martinique and the et "Le Piton de la Fournaise" on Reunion Island ), the worldwide network of seismological stations GEOSCOPE, and a major contribution to the worldwide network of magnetic observatories INTERMAGNET.
The implication of IPGP teams following the two major earthquakes of Sumatra in 2004 and Pakistan in 2005 revealed their importance.
It is necessary to underline the recent development of partnerships with the industry, such as the program on geological storage of CO2 or the conception of spatial missions.
To accomplish his teaching assignment, IPGP was committed, together with Denis Diderot University, to implement the LMD program, by taking the responsibility of the courses for master and doctorate.
