Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap here is the PhD timing window, not the project topic. First check that your doctorate falls after December 2023 and before September 2027, then plan for the case where a defense between October and December 2027 pushes the start date back. If you also want Marie Curie sponsorship, you must state it clearly in the cover letter, because it is not a separate application. Submit a clean application in English and ask your three referees to start the same day you apply, so you do not lose the 15-day window.
