Presentation

The Astronomy & Astrohysics Doctoral School calls for applications for PhD positions once a year.

Registration for a thesis at the ED can be done if the following conditions are met:

  • Hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent diploma)
  • To have the agreement of the thesis director
  • To have full funding for 3 years of thesis.

Funding may come from different sources:

  • The competition of the Doctoral School.
  • The host team. In this case, the candidate will have to submit two applications: one to the Doctoral School (application), the other to the funding organisation (CNES, CNRS, ...) whose deadlines are specific to each funding.
