Research internships at UCLouvain/LIDAM/LFIN
LFIN, the Research Center in Finance of the UCLouvain, proposes
4 internships: 2 in LLN and 2 in Mons.
It gathers more than 10 professors and 20 PhD students (Teaching & Research Assistants and Researchers) on the two campuses.
More information about LFIN can be found here: https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/lidam/lfin
The purpose of those internships is to give students the opportunity to discover what the day-to- day of a research job in finance is, to interact with researchers, and to contribute to the activities of the center. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for -but not restricted to- students who are considering the option of doing a PhD after their master’s degree.
What?
The internship will last at least 3 months (minimum of 60 working days).
As an intern, you will:
- Participate in research activities (data preparation, draft reading, perform empirical analyses, etc.) under the supervision of your LFIN promotor;
- Participate in the organization of research activities and events in LFIN (seminars, Louvain Finance Day, job fair, etc.) under the supervision of the LFIN director;
- Participate in the organization of teaching activities in finance (data preparation, case selection, testing, “monitorat”) in collaboration with Teaching & Research Assistants in finance;
- Work on your master’s thesis in the lab (shared office on campus).

- enrolled in one of the finance majors (Corporate Finance, International Finance, Financial Engineering or Finance & Transition) and
- who’s master’s thesis (co-)promotor is a professor member of LFIN (see https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/lidam/lfin/faculty-members.html).
