Overview
IÉSEG, one of the three institutions that finance and supervise the LEM research laboratory (“Lille Economie Management”), welcomes PhD students of the SESAM Doctoral School in the context of a 3 to 5-year program.
Each PhD student will be supervised by one or more thesis directors, including one professor from IÉSEG, holding a “HDR’ (Habilitation à diriger de la recherche).
PhD students must enroll at the SESAM Doctoral School of the University of Lille. IÉSEG covers reimbursements of university tuition fees. PhD students are also employed at IÉSEG, with a full-time fixed-term contract and a monthly salary, competitive with other European research and academic institutions.
The length of the contract depends on the type of funding that covers the PhD project. A 3-year contract, without extension possible, is offered when the project is externally funded, such as by a company or an ANR project. If the project is funded by IESEG, the maximum length is 5 years, starting with a 3-year contract, renewable twice for 1 year.
It is not possible to join this program remotely.
