Listed below are PhD project descriptions of laboratories wishing to host an FdV student for the coming 2011/2012 year.
Candidates : you must choose your phD project (1 single project per candidate) and then prepare your candidature with your future supervisor in the hosting lab (and he must give you his recommendation letter).
You may find your thesis subject among the proposals below ou prepare a new one with any paris region laboratory.
Then you must deposit your on line application completed before the April 22nd 2011 deadline.
Laboratories : suggest a PhD project (password = fdvlab)
Proposals are reviewed before publication, and we wish you the best candidates possible for your project.
Among the candidatures you will receive, you will have to select the one that will receive your personal recommendation for the auditions conducted by our International Scinetific Commitee early june 2011 (1 single candidate per project).
If you already have a chosen candidate, it is no longer need to publish it and we can unpublish it if need be.
