Approximately 1800 PhD students are hosted in INRA’s research units.

Doctoral students are a vital part of the scientific production of the Institute. The research units which host them carry out their role of training in and through research.

Each year, more than 500 doctoral students join INRA, all remunerated on contracts and in most cases associated with various private and public partners.

INRA is proposing special contracts in 2010

These contracts offer doctoral students particularly attractive conditions in terms of the duration of the contract and remuneration:

Recruitment of Associate Scientists on Contract

Associate Scientists on Contract (ASC) are recruited to carry out a thesis at INRA on subjects combining modelling and agronomic issues.

Young Scientist Contracts

The Young Scientist Contract aims at students who wish to carry out a PhD at INRA and begin a career in research. Its specificity lies in that it involves a partnership between INRA and a graduate school
