 The Canadian government offers scholarships ranging between 7500 CDN$ and 10000 CDN$ for graduate students of central/south americas to conduct research internships in Canadian universities. The internships are to last for a duration of 4-6 months.

I am looking for graduate students enrolled in an engineering/scientific program in one of the eligible countries (see below) interested in coming to Polytechnique in Montreal in the next academic year 2012-2013. I have many projects combining fluid and solid mechanics as well as theory and experiments.

Projects are available on:

• instability-assisted microfabrication;
• flutter of pipes conveying-fluid;
• drag reduction by large deformation of flexible structure;
• band formation in swimming bacteria;
• finite-element analysis of non-circular aircraft fuselage.
