Calmette & Yersin Doctoral Grants at Institut Pasteur 2025

The Institut Pasteur Department of International Affairs allocates funding to promote and facilitate the realization of theses of researchers primarily from low- and middle-income countries in an institute within the Pasteur Network outside France. Doctoral grants aim to promote mobility opportunities for young scientists. The doctoral internship should therefore be completed outside their home country or the country where they attended university. 

Eligibility

• Applicants must seek a full-time PhD position within one of the member institutions of the Pasteur Network on a collaborative program with Institut Pasteur.
• They should be eligible to register for a PhD at any university, regardless of location.
• The project is in line with Institut Pasteur's Strategic Plan.
• The project is associated with a program carried out in collaboration with an Institut Pasteur unit.
• Proposals submitted must align with the focus areas of the call.
• Applications must be submitted online by the deadline, either in English or French.
• Proposed projects should cover the entire 3-year duration of the PhD program.
• Demonstrated geographical mobility is an advantage.
• PhD studies already undertaken are not eligible.
• Applications for units hosting Pasteur Network PhD students for less than three (3) years are ineligible. 

Value: The grants are a fixed amount of €75,000 for 36 months, covering various aspects such as the Ph.D. student’s salary, mobility, courses, and publication costs
