12 doctoral contracts, 6 multidisciplinary projects: IDIL's 2025 thesis offers are now open
Open since April 8, 2025, the thesis offers of the IDIL Graduate Program of the University of Montpellier give access to 12 doctoral contracts distributed within 6 multidisciplinary research projects. These "mirror projects" combine two distinct disciplinary theses within a single structure, offering a genuine platform for scientific and institutional innovation.
Each IDIL doctoral contract offers guaranteed funding over three years, providing doctoral students with a stable framework and favorable conditions for conducting ambitious research. The program has a strong multi-disciplinary dimension, encouraging the cross-fertilization of approaches, methods and skills: research is conceived as collaborative and open-ended. Finally, doctoral students work within an extended academic community, bringing together the UFRs, schools and institutes of the University of Montpellier, as well as major national organizations such as CNRS, CIRAD and Inserm.
Each of these six projects is structured to enable collaborative work at the interface of two disciplinary fields. Among them:
- VEBIOCOL: design of a biosourced encapsulation vector for the controlled release of molecules in the colon.
- POLLUNOCT: study of the impact of anthropogenic light pollution on biological rhythms.
- HAPTIMED: the digital twin of haptic perception, applied to healthcare and education.
- OPTIMA: optimization of RNA modifications for targeted gene expression and RNA-based therapies.
- BIOREACH: design of remotely accessible cellular bioelectronic systems for autonomous biomedical solutions.
- CHIRARCHEOMS: study of collagen chirality by mass spectrometry, to explore protein aging in archaeology.
