PHD PROPOSALS 2024

You will find below the thesis topics proposed by the laboratory, classified by flagship projects.

The list of topics will be updated regularly (last update: 20/03/2024).

Some of them already have an identified financing (financing acquired)

or are certain to obtain one, although it has not yet been defined. (assured financing)..

If you are applying for institutional funding (Université de Lille, Région Hdf, Ecole Doctorale), you must contact the PhD supervisors before 6 May.

For the other subjects, funding is expected but not yet secured (potential funding via the graduate school competition or pending response to calls for projects).

In any case, for more information, contact the supervisory team of the subjects that you are interested in.
If you wish to apply, the procedure is detailed on the ENGSYS Graduate School website: https://edengsys.univ-lille.fr/avant-le-doctorat/comment-postuler-a-un-sujet-de-these
