Funding to carry out a thesis within the Pasteur Network outside metropolitan France

Objective

The Calmette & Yersin program support students to carry out their thesis in a Pasteur Network institute outside metropolitan France.

Topics

The subject of the thesis may concern all the themes developed in the laboratories of the Pasteur Network institutes: infectious physiopathology, immunology, microbiology, epidemiology, virology, parasitology, public health activities, etc.

Organisation

These doctoral grants aim to promote the mobility of young scientists; the doctoral internship must therefore be carried out outside the country in which the university studies were carried out. Doctoral students must be enrolled at a French or foreign university (local or otherwise) and the doctoral school to which the host laboratory is affiliated.

Eligibility

The candidate must hold a Master2 or equivalent degree. Candidates who have already started their thesis cannot apply.

Open to all nationalities.

Duration

3 years


The application must also include (section "Personality (s) supporting the application"):
    •   One or two recommandation letters 
    •   Letter from your PhD supervisor
    •   The opinion of the director of the host institute  

Online applications exclusively

Any incomplete application by the  deadline will be rejected.

Assessment criteria

A Selection Committee allocates doctoral grants based on the project's relevance, the  objectives and the application itself. The first step is to find a host laboratory : check the Pasteur Network DATABASE, a unique reference base accessible by institutions, scientific staff and projects: http://databaseriip.pasteur.fr
IMPORTANT: before submitting his application, the candidate must imperatively define, with the host laboratory, scientific project and starting date of the training.
