PhD Call for proposals 2021
Within the framework of the Institutes and Initiatives of the Alliance Sorbonne University (ASU), a campaign to award doctoral contracts financed by the Initiative of Excellence (Idex) has been launched in January 2021. The ASU promotes interdisciplinary research and the structuring of training through research with the Sorbonne University Institutes and Initiatives.
Faculty and researchers from Alliance Sorbonne Université are invited to submit their proposals
Campaign Organisation
- A call for doctoral research projects is launched among researchers and lecturers at the ASU.
- The doctoral research projects, first validated by the doctoral schools, are then submitted to a committee chaired by the Director of the Institute.
- The projects preselected by this committee are published on the Sorbonne Université website (doctoral section) and on the doctoral schools’ websites.
- Students send their applications to the project leaders, who will be in charge to select one student for her/his project. Students will then be auditioned by the committee.
- Selected candidates will be awarded a doctoral contract after the interview.
