On this page you can consult the IFPEN thesis offers. For example, you can refine your search by indicating the desired scientific discipline or by choosing an IFPEN Hospitality Search Direction. You can also filter by IFPEN strategic priority. Most of our theses take place on our sites in Rueil-Malmaison and Lyon, but some theses take place in partner laboratories. IFPEN PhD students benefit from a stimulating research environment, with high-performance laboratory equipment and computing resources. All IFPEN PhD students take part in seminars and training sessions dedicated to them. IFPEN has a competitive wage and social security policy. Warning: Some additional thesis topics may appear on this site in the coming weeks. Do not hesitate to come back to consult them. To apply, please send your cover letter and CV (eg using europass) to the person indicated.
