Call for applications: 13 PhD trainings funded by the H2020 program NUMERICS and INSTN


Within the international program NUMERICS, launched by the CEA in the fields of numerical simulation and scientific computing and supported by the EU Horizon 2020, the Frédéric Joliot Institute for Life Sciences obtains the label of 13 research projects for the recruitment of talented international students. Applications must be sent by April 30, 2020.

Published on 18 February 2020

NUMERICS is a project supported by the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020. It aims to fund PhD students conducting research at the CEA in the field of simulation, modelling, big data and artificial intelligence. For the last funding period 2020-2023, thirteen topics have been selected for the Joliot Institute. European funding (50%) will be completed by INSTN from its PhD program budget so that the laureates can be offered a PhD thesis contract fully paid by CEA.

Master students, if you are interested in one of the subjects (see below), you must apply before April 30, 2020. Before applying, you should verify that you meet the following criteria : you must not have resided or carried out your main activity in France more than 12 months over the three years prior to the call deadline (mobililty condition).
