About this position
INRAE UMR1348 PEGASE in Saint-Gilles near Rennes, France is offering a Master 2 internship in animal biology focused on dairy goat mammary health and longevity.
The project combines 3D imaging, flow cytometry, PCR, image analysis, lactation physiology, and statistical analysis using R. The internship is part of the CapriMamIA project, which aims to study mammary morphology in goats using non-invasive methods and to develop new indicators of health and longevity in dairy animals.
The intern will work on two experimental setups: longitudinal follow-up of goats across lactations using 3D scans, and analysis of the effect of udder filling between milkings. Tasks include measuring 3D scans, analyzing images, collecting milk samples, preparing cells, performing flow cytometry, studying epithelial cell exfoliation, analyzing gene expression by PCR, and interpreting milk production and mammary morphology data.
This opportunity is suitable for students in Master 2, final-year engineering programs, or veterinary training. Desired background includes animal biology, lactation physiology, zootechnics, cell biology, and molecular biology. The post also highlights practical skills in laboratory work, statistics, R, autonomy, rigor, and teamwork. French and English are requested, and a driving licence is required.
The internship lasts 6 months and starts in February or early March. Compensation is about €650/month. No accommodation is provided, but an INRAE restaurant is available in Saint-Gilles. The main supervisor is Marion Boutinaud (INRAE), with co-supervision by Alice Rousseau (Institut de l’Élevage).
To apply, contact Marion Boutinaud by email with a CV and motivation letter/message. Emphasize any experience in animal biology, PCR, cytometry, 3D imaging, statistics, and R.
