Applying for a doctoral contract at DPH

Applicant profile

The Graduate Program Digital Public Health PhD call is open to applicants from all disciplines related to digital public health, regardless of their original field of study. Students must hold a Master's degree in one of the programme's main disciplines in order to be eligible (public health, informatics, epidemiology, statistics, mathematics, sociology, etc.). The reserach subject must explicitely be related to digital public health.

As the DPH program will end in December 2027, the 2025-2026 DPH PhD call will fund a maximum PhD allocation of 28 months (for a thesis beginning in September 2025). Thus, all applications should justify a co-funding for a total of 36 months (or a cotutelle, see call below).

In addition, the applicant should :

• Have acquired solid research skills through their career.
• Demonstrate an excellent academic and scientific level.
• Have a very good command of both spoken and written English (minimum level C1).
• Demonstrate the ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment.
