Today, there are urgent needs of profiles capable of understanding the medical challenges in their entirety rather than from a strictly health or social point of view. The Breath programme will fill that gap by training excellent researchers.
Breath is supported by the european programme Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie and will recruit 20 talented fellows over two calls. The 20 applicants will have the opportunity to choose among 40 interdisciplinary projects at the intersection between health and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). Breath programme is carried by the University of Angers (UA) and the two others public universities in Pays de la Loire: University of Le Mans (LMU) and Nantes University (NU).
Doctoral Candidates (DC) will be systematically supervised by 3 co-supervisors: one expert from SSH, one from Health and one non-academic and/or international expert
The Breath programme is organised in two calls :
- One call to obtain high level research topics to offer to doctoral candidates
- One call to recruit doctoral candidates on the selected research topics
The Breath programme offers:
A unique experience fully funded during 36-month with attractive employment and salary conditions
Exceptional working and mentoring conditions
Excellent research training in English including a 3-month mandatory secondment
Elaborate training in transferable skills and personal career development support
Cofund Breath's key figures :
- Overall project duration: 5 years
- Duration of the PhD: 3 years
