About this position

INRAE Doctoral Contracts are salaried PhD positions hosted by France’s national research institute for agriculture, food and the environment. The institute has around 272 research units across France, giving doctoral researchers access to a wide national research network.

These contracts support doctoral research linked to INRAE’s scientific areas, especially agriculture, food, ecology and the environment. The position is structured as a work contract rather than a stipend, so doctoral researchers are employed while carrying out their PhD in an INRAE research unit and enrolled in an accredited French university or grande école.

The opportunity is open across a broad range of disciplines, including life sciences, environment, chemistry, engineering, digital science and social sciences, provided the topic aligns with INRAE’s mission. The advert emphasizes that applicants should first identify a suitable research unit and project, then apply to a specific PhD opening through the INRAE jobs portal.

Successful candidates join an established French public research environment and work on a project defined within an INRAE unit, with the broader context of research on agriculture, food, ecology and the environment.

Funding details

Gross salary of €2,200 per month (some openings up to around €2,300 per month); 3-year contract, extendable by 1 year in certain cases; additional benefits include public transport reimbursement, up to 100 days of remote work per year with a daily allowance, subsidised canteens, and family support.

What's required

Applicants must hold a master's degree (in France, a Master 2) or an equivalent qualification; in rare cases this requirement may be waived for candidates who can demonstrate an equivalent level or relevant professional experience. Candidates may come from many fields, including life sciences, environment, chemistry, engineering, digital science and social sciences, but their background must fit INRAE's work on agriculture, food, ecology and the environment. Applicants must enrol in a PhD programme at an accredited French university or grande école and conduct research in an INRAE research unit. All nationalities can apply.

How to apply

Find an INRAE research unit and a matching research topic. Apply to a specific advertised PhD position through the INRAE jobs portal with your CV and cover letter. There is no single deadline; each opening has its own closing date.
