How to proceed:

• Choose a subject from  the list of PhD subjects 
• Contact directly  your potential PhD supervisor (contact email available for each proposal).

It is compulsory for a PhD student to have financial support (salary, scholarship, grant...) at the level required by the French law. There is a variety of different financial supports, among which your potential supervisor will select with you those which are most suitable for your case. 

PhD positions  usually start in October for a duration of typically 3 years. The deadlines for grant applications range from April to June, and it is usually necessary that you build up your PhD project with the laboratory starting no later than March.
