IC-PhD [Institut Curie International PhD Program]
With more than 70 nationalities represented, Institut Curie welcomes students from all over the world to work in one of the 89 research teams of the Research Center.
Institut Curie launches its new international PhD program in Life Sciences “IC-PhD” which offers a total of 5 fellowships starting from September 2024 with a new selection procedure.
RESEARCH AT INSTITUT CURIE
Just like treatment and research, training and education are an integral part of Institut Curie’s founding social missions. Our aim is to prepare future leaders. So, each year, Institut Curie’s Research Center welcomes hundreds of PhD students from all over the world.
They carry out research in a vibrant environment based on the pluri-disciplinary approaches and excellence offered by over 85 research groups comprising Institut Curie’s 13 joint research units organized in 6 research themes and a translational department:
- Epigenetics, RNA and Genome Dynamics
- Cell Biology and Developmental Biology
- Tumor Biology and Immunology
- Radiobiology and Molecular Imaging
- Physics of Living Systems and Chemical Biology
- Computational and Systems Biology
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The call for applications is now open.
Below is the list of the PhD projects for the 2024 IC-PhD program. Please note that all the projects will not be funded in the frame of the program. A selection procedure will take place for funding.
