PhD proposals

The International PhD Program was created by the Direction des Sciences du Vivant (DSV) of the CEA to attract students who wish to do a thesis financed by the CEA with one of the DSV research groups. This program takes advantage of the considerable strengths of the CEA in a wide variety of biological fields and is centered around existing groups of excellence and high-tech platforms. Scientific problems can be addressed using state-of-the-art approaches, reflecting the goal of the DSV to become one of the major players in biology in France. The CEA works in collaboration with local Doctoral Schools and Universities to offer students a high level doctoral training. Students enrolled in the Doctoral Program of the CEA follow a course in English offered by the Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires (INSTN, Saclay) to introduce them to the professional world.
