Step 1: Preliminary step

Prior to the complete application, researchers who are interested in proposing a PhD subject in this call must fill a presubmission sheet, in english and in french.

The template for this document is available in Word and LATEX formats to choose from:

The pre-submission form should be sent as soon as possible, preferably before March 01, 2024.

• Contact details of the supervisor(s),
• Description of the research project, its challenges, its scientific context and its articulation with the IRMIA ++ project (5 pages maximum),
• CV of the supervisor(s),
• If there are several supervisors, the respective involvement of the various supervisors in the project (e.g. as a percentage),
• For each supervisor, the total number of PhD students he/she will be supervising on September 1, 2024 (weighted by a percentage in the case of co-supervision/co-direction),
• CV and transcript of Master's degree records (M1 and M2) of the prospective candidate,
• Annex: bibliography, support letter (from M2 thesis or internship supervisor).
