Eligibility criteria

• Early-stage researchers (ESR) shall at the call deadline be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. Full-time equivalent research experience is measured from the date when a researcher obtained the degree which would formally entitle him or her to embark on a doctorate.  
• Applicants may not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in France for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to January 14th, 2021.Time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention, compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.  
• Applicants must be in possession of a European master degree or equivalent master's degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate.

  Selection process

Application deadline: Thursday, January 28th, 2021 at 4:00pm (CET) Candidates have to complete an online form in English in time via the web-based application portal. Applications will be evaluated through a three-step process:
