A
majority of students have a doctoral contract funded or co-funded by
the Institute. The other students benefit from external funding
To be eligible for thesis funding, you must
hold a Master's degree or an equivalent diploma allowing you to apply
for a doctoral degree, before October of the current year.
In
cases of diploma equivalence, the authorization to apply to the doctoral
school must be verified before preparing the application form.
Applicants must be under 26 years of age. Exceptionally, this limit may be waived.
To apply you must contact the thesis
tutor by email, sending him a resume and a cover letter. If your profile
attracts his attention, he will inform you on the steps to take for the
rest of your application.
We draw your attention to the fact
that the thesis proposals posted are still subject to validation by the
IRSN Thesis Commission. A limited number of thesis offers may be removed
by early March.
The amount of the doctoral contract
allocated by IRSN is around €2040 gross monthly during the first two
years and €2090 gross monthly in the third year.
For some proposed thesis related to external financing, this amount may be different.
