PhD Opportunities in Mathematics in France

This doctoral project focuses on deep generative models for the joint analysis of biological tissue images and spatial molecular measurements . The student will develop new deep learning methods designed to connect image data with spatially resolved molecular information, with the goal of addressing biological questions in collaboration with partner research teams. The research is based in Auguste Genovesio’s team , which works on image analysis and artificial intelligence at IBENS, ENS-PSL , an...

This PhD project is about inverse problems for biomedical images , with a specific focus on mammography and breast cancer risk assessment . The research aims to improve the analysis of X-ray mammograms by developing denoising methods that preserve the fine structural properties of mammographic textures, especially the self-similarity and fractal characteristics that can reveal patterns linked to cancer risk. The thesis is rooted in the challenge that risk-related parenchymal patterns can be diff...

This PhD project is about improving reverse engineering for side-channel analysis on embedded systems. The thesis targets situations where security assessment of a device must begin with a preparatory detection phase, for example to identify cryptographic primitives in traces for future observation attacks or to locate target routines for fault-based attacks. The goal is to design non-profiled methods and tools that can automate this detection stage while also leveraging an attacker’s prior know...

This PhD project is part of H2-TWIN and focuses on building fast, reliable reduced-order models for PEM fuel cell systems from a high-fidelity multiphysics model. The goal is to make these models suitable for real-time simulation, control, monitoring, and system sizing. The doctoral research is centered on data-driven, non-intrusive model reduction , with the Loewner framework as the main methodological base. A key challenge is to extend this framework to the nonlinear structure of fuel-cell mod...

This fully funded PhD opportunity at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) focuses on multiphysics simulation, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. The research is situated within CEA’s nuclear engineering and fuel physics applications, with supervision based at CEA Saclay and CEA Cadarache. The doctoral researcher will develop a generic, scalable, and dynamic algorithm for multiphysics coupling. The goal is to detect the interaction str...

CRI Research Fellowship at the Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity in France is a recurring research fellowship scheme for researchers at different career stages. The call describes three types of research fellows with differing profiles and lengths of stay, and it is designed for candidates ranging from postdoctoral young investigators to tenured scientists. The fellowship is positioned as an interdisciplinary research opportunity centered at the CRI Research lab environment. Fellows be...

PhD opportunity in AI and medical ultrasound focused on SynthUS, a project developing robust ultrasound foundation models through differentiable domain randomisation. The research addresses the substantial variability of real-world medical ultrasound images, which presents a major challenge for AI-based analysis. The project will combine physics-based image simulation, generative AI, and differentiable learning to create models that generalise across imaging domains. The PhD researcher will inve...

CIFRE-Defence is a paid three-year doctoral funding scheme linking a French company with a recognised research laboratory in France. The student works on a defence-related research topic while dividing time between the company and the academic laboratory, gaining both research training and practical professional experience. The programme is funded by the French Ministry of Defence through its Agency for Defence Innovation (AID) and administered with ANRT. A successful project is supported throug...

The Fondation Mathématiques Jacques Hadamard is offering 2 Maryam Mirzakhani PhD scholarships for female students of any nationality who intend to prepare a PhD within EDMH. The award is designed to support a research pathway that begins with a Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications at Université Paris-Saclay or the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and continues into doctoral research within the EDMH environment. Successful candidates will be supported through their master’s years and th...
