Dear Colleagues from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, ParisTech and the China Scholarship Council (CSC) have signed in 2011 an agreement to create a PhD program in France. Since the implementation of the program in 2013, 86 students have been admitted in the program. We believe this program could be a very useful tool to further develop research cooperation between research groups in your University and ParisTech laboratories, especially through the set-up of co-supervised PhDs. This program is open to highly qualified Chinese students interested in carrying out a PhD at ParisTech with financial support from CSC. Please note two additions to the program since last year: - Students have now the possibility to complete a co-supervised PhD in collaboration between their home research group in China and a host laboratory in France. - Chinese nationals currently studying in China, but also in France or in one of the 32 partner countries, are eligible for the program. For the 2018 admission campaign, 144 PhD Research Projects are offered by ParisTech “Grandes Ecoles” laboratories in the following Research Fields: - Biology, Biophysics and Bio Chemistry - Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Chemical Engineering - Economics, Management and Social Sciences - Energy, Processes - Environment Science and Technology, Sustainable Development, Geosciences - Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies - Life and Health Science and Technology - Materials Science, Mechanics, Fluids - Mathematics and their applications - Physics, Optics - Design, Industrialization - Life Science and Engineering for Agriculture, Food and the Environment - Urban planning, Transport Candidates can apply either: - for up to 3 PhD Research Projects listed - or for an entire Research Field ParisTech-CSC doctoral program - 2018 calendar and application procedure: http://paristech-china.com/content/phd-grant-china-scholarship-council
