Electrochemistry and Bioanalysis Research Intern

Possible Responsibilities:

We welcome motivated and enthusiastic students to join our dynamic research lab specializing in analytical chemistry, sensor development, and environmental applications. Our group is at the forefront of advancing analytical techniques, including spectrometric, chromatographic, electrochemical, and optical methods. Our primary focus areas include the development of innovative sensors, the investigation of nano-structured materials for environmental applications, and the thorough examination of pollutants and impurities in diverse matrices such as environmental samples, pharmaceuticals, and food products.

Detailed missions will be discussed during the interview with your superviser. Here are some of the possible missions:

Sensor Development:

Contribute to ongoing sensor development projects by actively participating in experimental design, fabrication, and optimization processes.

Collaborate with team members to conduct literature reviews and stay abreast of advancements in sensor technologies.

Assist in the characterization and validation of developed sensors through analytical techniques.

Nano-structured Materials Study:

Engage in the synthesis and characterization of nano-structured materials with a focus on their environmental applications.

Contribute to the design and execution of experiments aimed at evaluating the performance and efficacy of nano-materials in targeted applications.

Work closely with senior researchers to analyze and interpret experimental data.

Pollutant Analysis:

Participate in sample preparation, extraction, and analysis of pollutants and impurities in environmental, pharmaceutical, and food matrices.

Operate and maintain analytical instruments such as spectrometers, chromatographs, and electrochemical cells.

Assist in the development and validation of analytical methods for pollutant detection.

Data Analysis and Reporting:

Collect, organize, and analyze experimental data using appropriate software tools.

Prepare detailed reports and contribute to the documentation of research findings.

Present research outcomes at group meetings and potentially at conferences, under the guidance of senior researchers.

Lab Safety and Compliance:

Adhere to laboratory safety protocols and guidelines.

Maintain accurate records of experiments, ensuring compliance with established procedures.

Qualifications:

Strong academic background in analytical techniques and instrumentation.

Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Ability to work independently and take initiative.

Benefits:

Hands-on experience in cutting-edge analytical chemistry research.

Exposure to a collaborative and innovative research environment.

Opportunity to contribute to impactful projects in sensor development and environmental applications.

About the Organization

The group’s activity is structured around the different analytical, spectrometric, chromatographic, electrochemical and optical techniques, both in their application and development. The group’s most outstanding activities are the development of different types of sensors, the study of nano-structured materials and their environmental applications and the study of pollutants and impurities in environmental, pharmaceutical and food matrices.

On-site Supervision and Support

Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance. 
 

Academic Credit

Students on an internship have the opportunity to enroll in their home university for credit, or enroll in a course through API to transfer back to their university for credit. Email support-internships@apiexperience.com for more information and a syllabus.

Housing and Excursions

Housing and excursions are included in your internship and will be selectable during the application process.
