International PhD Program

Presentation

The CBI international Ph.D. program was initiated upon the foundation of the CBI in 2016 and includes all Ph.D. students. The ambition of the program is to foster a community of well-trained, highly motivated, and dynamic young researchers. The CBI Ph.D. program committee includes staff scientists representing all institutes of the CBI, and is supported by its directorship. Our aim is to help our Ph.D. students to become part of the scientific community, to guide them in their career choices, and to participate in their training. Surrounded by the stimulating and dynamic environment of the CBI, the program proposes in-house training courses, seminars, and social events.

Planning of the CBI's year:

The CBI Ph.D. Mentoring!    created by Julie Batut

Do not hesitate to contact Julie if you would like to become a mentor or you need advice. It became a doctoral school's module entitled  "Module Mentoring CBI Ph.D. program" and could be found via Adum!

Our mentoring program includes:

1. Individual meetings and discussions (at least monthly)
2. Round table sessions  Program 2021/2022
3. Career Workshop 

Mentoring is a timeless concept with roots in ancient history. The word “mentor” comes from The Odyssey by the Greek poet Homer. When Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sailed off with his army to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusted his friend Mentor to care for and educate his son, Telemachus. The word “mentor” eventually came to mean a trusted advisor, counselor, and friend.

The CBI Mentoring pairs new students with faculty mentors that match student interests and needs.

Mentors are • Advisors, who have career experience and are willing to share their knowledge,
                      • Supporters, who provide emotional and moral encouragement,
                      • Tutors, who give specific feedback on one’s performance,
                      • Supervisors, who monitor their students’ academic and professional progress,
                      • Trainers, who teach students about professional responsibility,
                      • Sponsors, who are sources of information about opportunities and assist students in obtaining them, and
                      • Role models, who exhibit the qualities and ethical values that academics should possess. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  (The National Institutes of Health,1999; Zelditch, 2001).
