Laboratories' PhD project proposals

Candidates

To apply to the FdV PhD program, you need to choose your phD project (1 single project per candidate) and then prepare your candidature with your future supervisor in the hosting lab (and he must give you his recommendation letter).
You may find ideas of thesis subjects among the labs' proposals below or else prepare a new one with any Paris region laboratory (you may consult the list of labs that have already hosted an FdV fellow since 2007).

Then you must fill in the application form on line (sending all mandatory information and uploads) before the deadline.

Laboratories : you may submit your phd proposal (password = fdvlab)

After internal validation, it will be published below.

This project has applied for a european funding (Marie Curie FP7 ITN IDP 2012)
within the "Wiser Games" Innovative Doctoral Program of the FdV School.

* Eligible candidates under ITN IDP regulations :

- Early Stage Researchers must be (at the time of recruitment by the host organization) : in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.

- At the time of recruitment by the host organization, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.

This project has applied for a european funding (Marie Curie FP7 ITN IDP 2012)
within the "Wiser Games" Innovative Doctoral Program of the FdV School.

* Eligible candidates under ITN IDP regulations :

- Early Stage Researchers must be (at the time of recruitment by the host organization) : in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.

- At the time of recruitment by the host organization, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.
