 |
Description
The Ph. D. program of the Nanosciences Foundation is a three year program to support Ph. D. training of excellent students. This support covers all areas of interdisciplinary research dedicated to Nanosciences and Nanotechnology. The thesis will be prepared in one of the network's laboratories on a topic related to one or several of the following fields:
• Quantum nanoelectronics |
• Nanomaterials, nanobonding and Nanostructuration |
• Nanomagnetism and Spintronics |
• Nanocharacterization and Nanometrology |
• Nanophotonics |
• Nano-approaches to life sciences |
• Molecular electronics |
• Nanomodeling, theory and simulation. |
The net salary is about 1500 €/month during 36 months, including healthcare insurance (income tax not deduced).
Applicants
The program is open to highly talented and motivated students of any nationality. Students from different backgrounds (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics) who can demonstrate a strong interest in the field of Nanosciences are welcome. Applicants should have the equivalent of a master’s degree obtained outside of France, and must be fluent in English language.
They must have contacted one of the laboratories of
the network and propose a research project built in agreement with the
chosen supervisor. The proposition of a research project which involves more than one of the 33 labs of the network would fully fit the networking strategy at the core of the Foundation and would have a greater chance of being selected.
Selection procedure
The research project and the detailed thesis program must be described in the application form.
Applications for the PhD program will be evaluated twice a year:
- The deadline for the 1st call for application is on March 31.
- The deadline for the 2nd call for application is on September 30.
After checking of their eligibility, the applications
are submitted to independent reviewers.
After reception of the
reviewers' assessments, the Jury composed of the Steering Committee and of some external
qualified scientists, selects a first list of applicants.
The
selected students will be invited to Grenoble to give a presentation of
their application in front of the Jury. (all travel expenses will be covered by the Foundation)
The final results of the 1st call will be
published in June 2011.
