CNRS-L/AUB PhD Fellowships Program 2019-2020
As part of the agreement between the National Council for Scientific Research of the Lebanese Republic (CNRS-L) and the American University of Beirut (AUB) for the co-financing of doctoral studies, fourteen doctoral fellowships will be awarded in 2019-2020.
Eligibility
These fellowships are exclusively for Lebanese students holding a Master's degree (or equivalent) recognized as such by the two institutions (CNRS-L and AUB). Applications should be Lebanese under the age of 30 during their first year of support, and having 14/20 (French system) or 85/100 (American system) as overall average in the Master’s degree (or equivalent). Alternatively, for students who do not have a Master’s degree, they should have spent at least two years at AUB in their respective doctoral programs and earned an average of at least 85/100.
Scientific priorities for 2019-2020
All topics of common interest are eligible. Nevertheless, topics considered as priorities for 2019-2020 are listed in the annex. It should be noted, however, that "exceptional" applications belonging to another topic (not listed in the annex) are also considered. The final selection of awardees will be done by a joint committee from both institutions (CNRS-L and AUB).
