AXA's "CIFRE" fellowships

The AXA Research Fund awards about ten "CIFRE" grants annually. They are aimed at students who have obtained a Master's degree and wish to do a Ph.D. within AXA, splitting their time between the firm and their research laboratory.

How is a "CIFRE" Ph.D. organized? What are the selection criteria and processes within AXA? For more information, please read the document entitled "CIFRE grants : modus operandi".
