COFUND DOCTORAL PROGRAM: 12 PHD POSITIONS OPEN IN OCTOBER 2016. Institut Curie is recruiting 12 PhD students through its international program called IC-3i PhD program.
This program provides PhD students with a 3-year fellowship, a high level interdisciplinary, inter-sectorial, and international training with dedicated career development plans, secondments and mentoring.The IC-3i international Phd Program is a PhD fellowship program partly funded by the European Commission under the Cofund scheme of Horizon 2020’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.The aim is to recruit motivated students for 12 PhD projects who will be starting their PhD in October 2016 at Institut Curie bringing together a world-class multidisciplinary cancer research center and a model hospital.
