LIGHT S&T PhD cohort

Each year the LIGHT S&T Graduate Program recruits PhD students with a Master's degree in physics, chemistry, biology or equivalent. These students will continue their research within a doctoral training program in science and applications of light and on a thesis subject labeled by LIGHT S&T Graduate Program. The recruitment of these PhD students is based on criteria of excellence (Master's degree with “good” rating is expected).

Prerequisites for the application

Be enrolled in the first year of PhD, at the University of Bordeaux
Perform research on a thesis subject labeled by LIGHT S&T
Selected PhD students enter LIGHT S&T and can benefit from a specialized teaching pathway and mobility grants during their PhD
Recruited PhD students join a 3-year doctoral research program and act as LIGHT S&T's ambassadors. Together with their thesis supervisor, they are committed to promoting LIGHT S&T in their communications and publications
Students benefit from an academic or industrial mentor. This mentor provides personalized follow-up on the evolution of the student's thesis work and provides support with his/her professional project
PhD students must present their work to a mid-term committee to ensure it is advancing as expected. The mid-term committee is composed of: the thesis supervisor, the mentor and an external member. The doctorate will be delivered with a LIGHT S&T label. Joint supervision thesis and international mobility are encouraged and supported through mobility grants.
