Funded PhD positions: recruitment campaign
Call for applications for 9 fully funded PhD positions at EPHE-PSL for 2026. Deadline: 4 May 2026, midnight (Paris time).
This funded PhD position is offered through a three‑year employment contract with EPHE–PSL. The contract provides the doctoral researcher with a full‑time appointment dedicated entirely to carrying out the research required for their PhD thesis.
There is no age requirement and no specific date by which the Master’s degree must have been completed. Applicants must, however, hold a Master’s degree or equivalent. It is not necessary to have defended the Master’s thesis before applying. Proof of degree completion may be submitted after the interview, but if the Master’s degree is not ultimately awarded following the September examination boards, the funded PhD position will be withdrawn.
The funded PhD position can only be awarded to students who will enroll in the first year of the doctoral program in the 2026–2027 academic year
