Location of Université Paul Cezanne Aix-Marseille 3
The Joint Doctorate Program on Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics is dedicated to address recent challenges of one of the most expanding fields in physics and material sciences. This doctorate program is based on a consortium of excellence research institutes and universities in the field :
- Paul Cézanne Aix Marseille III University / Institut Fresnel (France)
- Universität Karlsruhe (TH) / Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics (Germany) Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, ICFO (Insitut de Ciences Fotoniques) (Spain)
- Universita degli Studi di Firenze / LENS (European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy) (Italy).
The goal of the program is to involve doctorate students in cutting-edge research projects profiting from the complementarity between the five partners, and from a wide range of research training and teaching plans that includes fundamental and general sciences, technology, languages and communication, research and industrial management, technology transfer, career exploratory support, international meetings, workshops and conference participation. Several key issues will be implemented to bring to the students a complete and valuable training : co-supervision, exchanges within the local and the international research environment, training in working methods in technical, scientific and management issues, communication and regular scientific presentations at local and international scales.
The doctorate projects will focus on advanced research in Photonics and interdisciplinary applications. PhD students will then be able to pursue a career on today´s new challenges in either academic or applied research :
- monitoring and controlling matter and optical phenomena at the ultimate nanometric scale,
- providing new imaging tools for fundamental understanding of biological processes and clinical applications,
- bringing original tools in line with future optical devices.
Contents
PhD candidates will work under a co-tutelle supervision (joint supervision of doctoral studies by at least two universities within the consortium) between one project-leading laboratory and collaborative laboratories. If successful the doctoral candidate will be awarded a double doctoral degree awarded by the two institutions.
At least one semester will be spent in each of the co-supervising institutions.
The students will follow two weeks of training units per semester to obtain the doctorate diploma after the thesis defense. Training is based on modules proposed in each institutions:
- Technical modules : scientific knowledge necessary to the conduction of the research in a given field
- Scientific modules: participation and presentation at meetings, conferences, schools
- Management modules: transferable skills training related to research and industry
Each module corresponds to 1 to 2 training weeks (or equivalent time) that allows monitoring the student training progress.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
