LANEF PhD Program 2019

LANEF PhD Program is a three year program to support PhD training of excellent students. The thesis will be prepared in one of the six laboratories on a topic related to one or several of the following Challenges:

• Quantum Materials

• Nanophysics and Quantum Engineering

• Electrical Energy

• Sensors for Life Science and Healthcare

•New frontiers in cryogenics

The net salary is 1450 €/month during 36 months, including healthcare insurance (income tax not deduced). If you agree to undertake light additional duties (such as teaching, for example), your net salary may be risen up to 1690 €/month.

THE APPLICANTS

The program is open to highly talented and motivated students of any nationality. Students from different backgrounds (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics) who can demonstrate a strong interest in the fields of LANEF are welcome. Applicants should have a master’s degree and must be fluent in English language. A good mobility (within the country of origin - or internationally) demonstrated during the undergraduate cursus will be considered as a plus.
They must have already found a PhD supervisor in one of the 6 laboratories of LANEF and be able to propose a thesis project in agreement with his/her future thesis supervisor.
A thesis project based on synergies between the 6 laboratories or the different thematics, will have a greater chance to be selected by our evaluation committee - also if it aims at enhancing collaborations with R&D, healthcare laboratories, or companies.

HOW TO APPLY

  • You must have found a PhD project that will be supported and supervised by one (or more) researcher(s) based in one of the 6 LANEF’s laboratories.
  • Download the PhD program application form
  • With the help of your thesis supervisor, fill in this application form with all requested details
  • You must contact the steering committee member of your main thematic in order to inform him/her of your intention to apply to the PhD program. He/she will help you and make sure that your application matches the program requirements.

  • Merge all these PDFs into ONE single .PDF file
  • Send by email that final PDF file to greque@neel.cnrs.fr by 2019, April 9, 11:59 AM (Paris time) .
  • Your application will be acknowledged within five working days.
  • You must request (at least) two recommendation letters based on the template included at the end of the application form (section F). These letters must be sent by your referee himself/herself directly to greque@neel.cnrs.fr by 2019, April 9, 11:59 AM (Paris time) .
