Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is "mobility": the real boundary is not nationality, but time spent in France during the three years before 30 November 2026. The second lock is the time since the PhD defense, which rules out an application if the doctorate is more than 3 years old. Since the project highlights non-additive effects and stochastic simulations, the application should show a concrete proof of method, a result, or a publication that already demonstrates that skill. Send a targeted CV and a cover letter that connects your thesis to the COCORIX project, without overloading the file.

Countries covered
No specific nationality is indicated, but applicants must hold a PhD in quantitative genetics or biostatistics, comply with the mobility rule, and have defended within the last 3 years. The rule that changes everything is the BIENVENUE mobility condition: in the three years before 30 November 2026, you must not have lived or carried out your main activity in France for more than 12 months. The time since PhD defense is the other blocking filter, and both conditions must be met together.
