HDR? submit your projects to the doctoral school competition!
The competition for the distribution of BioSPC doctoral contracts is an annual competition organized by department and in three phases:
- Call for projects for all HDRs attached to the doctoral school.
- Call for applications from students on the projects proposed by the HDRs and posted online.
- Auditions of the pre-selected candidates according to the academic grid.
Qualification requirements
– Authorization to defend the HDR has been obtained from the administration (a copy of the authorization to defend the HDR, signed by the university presidency, will be requested by the doctoral school before publication of the thesis proposal).
-The HDR defense date must be prior to October 1 of the year of the competition, the date officialized by the administration.
-If you are applying for authorization to supervise a thesis (ADT), this must be granted by the doctoral school and the administration no later than the closing date of the calls for proposals.

Conditions related to the supervision rate
The supervision rate is limited to two doctoral students per HDR, whether it is a direction or a co-direction. The co-direction of a PhD student is equivalent to 1 supervision.
An exception to the two doctoral students per HDR rule occurs when it is clearly stated in the co-supervision agreement that the PhD student will spend at least 50% of her/his time in the partner country. The thesis director must therefore supervise only one doctoral student when submitting the project. The director is allowed to supervise two students if the jury composition request for one of the students has been submitted before the application
Number of authorized deposits
The HDR holder can only submit one project with a maximum of one candidate to the doctoral school competition.
However, a thesis director who does not supervise any PhD student (and who present one student to the competition) is allowed to recruit a second as long as the second PhD student is funded through another channel (foundation, CIFRE, ANR, Region…).
