Thesis opportunities
Each year, the CEREGE teams propose several thesis topics open to applications.
Doctoral students completing their thesis at CEREGE join one of our research teams for a period of three years. They benefit from the full range of our scientific and technical expertise in their field, as well as an extensive network of national and international collaborations.
Depending on their contract, some doctoral students may also contribute to university teaching, particularly at undergraduate level, via a CME (Chargé de Mission d'Enseignement) contract.
Call for applications - SCHADOC thesis (EMERGENCE project)
