Thesis proposals
The IBS hosts on average 50 PhD students who are either selected via national Doctoral Schools and International PhD programs (CEA) or financed by external grants from ANR, EU2020 and private fondations.
Suivre par RSSCEA Funding
The CEA offers students high-level doctoral training and IBS’s laboratories participate in this program. A diverse array of research topics is available and encompasses the following domains: environmental sciences and host-pathogen interactions, structural biology and biophysics and technologies for health and medicine.
The IBS thesis subjects for 2026-2027 are currently written by our researchers. The award of a CEA thesis contract is made upon approval by the Selection Committee which is chaired by the High-Commissioner for Atomic Energy. The thesis subjects eligible for funding or cofinancing by the CEA will be published on the CEA website early 2026 for auditions on the spring 2026.
Ministerial and Regional Funding
The next session for applications will take place mid 2026. Details of IBS thesis projects for 20265-2029 will be dispatched on the Doctoral Schools’ websites:
– Doctoral School in Physics : Ecole Doctorale de Physique de Grenoble
– Doctoral School in Chemistry and Life Sciences : Ecole Doctorale de Chimie et Sciences du Vivant (EDCSV)
(Once the subjects have been published, candidates will be able to apply until April, with pre-selection of candidates beginning of May and auditions in June).
GRAL funding
In the framework of the recently funded EUR “Grenoble Graduate School in Chemistry, Biology and Health” (CBH-EUR-GS), the LABEX-GRAL funds PhD scholarships in GRAL labs of the IRIG institute (IBS, BCI, BGE, CBM, and PCV).
Informations about the IBS PhD projects selected for funding in the fall of 2026, as well as details for applying and auditioning, will be available in the spring 2026.
CBH Graduate School Funding
Information about PhD positions at IBS funded by the EUR “Grenoble Graduate School in Chemistry, Biology and Health” (CBH-EUR-GS) will be available in the spring 2026 here.
External grants
The IBS groups welcome thesis students in the context of different fundings, such as ANR funding or European funding (Marie Curie network, ERC, etc..).
