PhD Projects

In France, there are no specific "doctoral programs" that enable a candidate to complete a doctorate in a specific field. Rather, candidates must apply to a specific doctoral project and then to the affiliated doctoral school.

HealthTech Doctoral Projects

At the beginning of every calendar year, HealthTech puts out a call for proposals for doctoral projects. These projects are submitted by permanent researchers within the HealthTech consortium and meet specific criteria for interdisciplinarity and medical application, as outlined in the HealthTech  charter. These proposals are evaluated for eligibility by a panel of experts internal to the consortium. Eligible projects are then circulated by the project supervisors, as well as the by HealthTech manager, to potential candidate populations. Candidates then contact the project supervisors directly to apply. 

Applications sent to HealthTech and not to the supervisors will not be reviewed.

HealthTech has 3 affiliated doctoral schools:

• MSII: The Doctoral School of Mathematics, Information Sciences and Engineering (ED 269)
• The Doctoral School of Life and Health Sciences (ED 414)
• Augustin Cournot Doctoral School (ED 221)

Applying for a Ph.D. Project

The following projects are open for applications. For more information about a project or information about what documentation to provide to apply, please contact the project supervisors directly. HealthTech will not respond to any Ph.D. applications.

Important dates:

- April 30th : deadline to submit an application to the project supervisors

- early May: candidates are notified of pre-selection by supervisors

- mid-May: candidates are notified of 1st stage results by HealthTech; advancing candidates will audition before the jury

- June 4th: selected candidates audition before the jury

- mid-June: notification of audition results
