The team is heavily involved in training the next generation of leaders in epidemiology and statistics.
Our PhD students benefit from a solid training programme, with regular meetings with their supervisors, participation in team meetings and activities, and CRESS scientific activities (speed meeting, doctoral students' seminar, peer-review training, etc.).
All our students publish their thesis work as first author in recognised scientific journals.
PhD school
The team is affiliated to the "Public Health: Epidemiology and Medical Information Sciences" PhD school (ED 393, Université Paris Cité). Full details of how to apply, register and defend your thesis are available on the school's website.
