The Institute of Microbiology, Bioenergies and Biotechnology (IM2B) is financing 4 PhD positions starting in October 2020.

The PhD projects described below are eligible for funding under this call for applications. These 8 interdisciplinary projects rely on inter-laboratory collaborations and are related to the scientific theme of the Institute: exploring the diversity and functioning of the microbial world, at the molecular, cellular and ecosystem levels or through its close association with other organisms (plants, microbiota, etc.) with a view to developing innovative biotechnological solutions in the fields of renewable carbon for Green Chemistry and Energy, Environment and Health.

Future PhD students will benefit from the personalised support offered by the Plinius PhD Cursus. They will thus be able to train in a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, and also prepare their professional project in a multidisciplinary and international environment.

At the end of a two-steps selection procedure, conducted in first by the co-directors of the PhD project and then by a selection board during an audition to be held in June, the selected applicants will be granted with a 3-year fellowship (salary of €1421 net / month).
