Job opportunities

The IMAS training programme aims to train future researchers in all fields related to food plants, preparing them for academic or R&D careers in agriculture and the agri-food industry.

Some courses promote professional integration through:

- The promotion of student projects in collaboration with the private sector

- The involvement of socio-economic partners in:

Training (short modules targeted at R&D)
Tutoring of student projects
Hosting students for short periods in relation to their research internships
The organisation of an annual professional fair and workshops for professional integration Graduate careers : Find out what has become of our former graduates on the Observatoire des Formations et de l'Insertion Professionnelle page: https://univ-avignon.fr/lobservatoire-de-la-formation-et-de-linsertion-professionnelle-ofip/
