PhD contracts

CIMI offered PhD contracts every year until 2023. Because the LabEx will end at the end of 2027, this initiative is now closed.

Prospective candidates in mathematics may refer to EUR MINT.

More information about the PhD program in Toulouse may be obtained from the École Doctorale Mathématiques Informatique Télécommunications de Toulouse (EDMITT).
