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.

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.
