The Australia-France Network of Doctoral Excellence (AUFRANDE) is a unique PhD training program co-funded by the European Union and bringing together 37 research centres in France and Australia. Together, they will recruit and train 64 researchers who will be working on their unique research projects, benefitting of excellent working conditions including dual enrolment in doctoral programs in France and Australia, a competitive salary, a personalised supervision from experienced researchers in their field, mentoring and support from over 40 non-academic partners, international experience and numerous networking opportunities.
AUFRANDE is offering 15+ PhD fellowships in the fields of Physics, Computer Sciences, Geosciences, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Mechanics, Acoustics, Chemistry, Photonics and other related disciplines.
Successful applicants are expected to start in January 2025. They will be part of a unique doctoral training program offering:
- Excellent employment conditions in France
- Up to 12 months secondments in Australia
- Dual doctorates (France + Australia)
- Outstanding training aimed at fostering scientific, technical and transferable skills
- Involvement of industry partners
Applications are open to candidates from all over the world who have not lived in France for more than 12 months over the last 3 years.
