Postdoc and PhD fellowships are allocated in a staged way, in order to best cover the 5-year timespan of the project, on the basis of the needs of the three scientific work packages and by focusing on specific, essential deliverables.
The management board issues regular calls for projects, then makes a selection. Then, a strict quality process is used in the recruitment of PhD students and postdocs. It follows the CNRS charter (charter ​|in french ​|in english, ​| DR11 flyer for recruiter in french) which has the HRS4R European label. It relies on experienced researchers as members of the selection committees. It ensures scientific excellence and internationalization.
