Do you have an R&D project, do you want to explore or improve a field of scientific competence, are you looking for a technological breakthrough?

You can benefit from financial assistance to recruit a doctoral student whose research project, carried out in conjunction with an external laboratory, will lead to the defense of a thesis.

Blockchain technology can be used to secure the stages of the energy renovation process for pavilions, improve transparency and traceability of agri-food products, certify solar energy production and improve information management. for billing electricity between individuals… and so much more. As part of a national Blockchain strategy, start-ups and large groups benefit from support mechanisms via the CIFRE agreement. France is well ahead with its Pacte Law and its PSAN ¹ component, but also, thanks to the Blockchain ² Task Force launched by Bruno Le Maire and carried out by researchers of Institut Mines Télécom and INRIA, work in collaboration with the ecosystem. This national strategy is dedicated to private and public actors, coordinated by the General Directorate of Enterprises, which frequently organize working and plenary meetings. Together, let’s build the development of projects and strategic axes listening to business use cases.

In this article, you will learn why and how to recruit doctoral students in the form of a CIFRE agreement.

CIFRE and its advantages for businesses

The aim of the Industrial Research Training Agreements (CIFRE) is to strengthen exchanges between public research laboratories and socio-economic circles, to promote the employment of doctors in companies and to contribute to the innovation processes of companies. established in France, funded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

The CIFRE3 system allows the company to benefit from financial assistance to recruit a young doctoral student whose research work, supervised by a public research laboratory, will lead to the defense of a thesis. The company is recruiting in C.D.I. or C.D.D. age 3, a young master’s degree graduate with a minimum gross annual salary of 23,484 euros (1,957 euros / month), and entrusts him with a research project that is the subject of his thesis. It receives for 3 years from the National Association of Research and Technology (A.N.R.T.), on behalf of the State, an annual subsidy of 14,000 euros. A collaboration contract is established between the company and the laboratory specifying the conditions for carrying out the research and the ownership clauses of the results obtained by the doctoral student. The work of the doctoral student as well as the expenses generated by a CIFRE are eligible for the research tax credit (CIR) according to the same criteria as for any researcher working in a company. In case of recruitment in C.D.I. in the company at the end of his thesis, the doctoral student can also benefit his employer from the special status of young doctor in the calculation of the CIR.

Boris Nedeltchev looking for a CIFRE convention

In possession of a master’s degree in IT Business Management from Rennes School of Business, having notably written a final thesis and created the first French student association specialized in blockchain technology, I wish to establish a CIFRE agreement associated with a company entrusting me with a research work object of my thesis and a laboratory, outside the company, ensuring my scientific supervision.

Passionate about data, I notably worked at Datalents, an HR-tech specializing in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Working at Station F, the largest incubator in the world, I identified geographic areas, sectors and contacts to support them through our team of data experts who will act as functional or technical staff.

Very curious by nature, I have been interested in Blockchain and trade for several years. A CIFRE convention is for me a real source of interest, more particularly as regards its adoption for the general public. I believe in the potential to do in-depth data work research in the most interesting industry of the century. In addition, I would like to contribute to the blockchain industry by designing and building management solutions that would allow the French ecosystem to optimize the management of their resources and improve their performance in defining new methodologies. , the maintenance of those already in place, the monitoring of the implemented processes and the acquisition of relevant data in order to possibly extend the improvements and the way of developing, applying and sharing them.

My main assets are my autonomy and the ease with which I can work in a team face-to-face as well as remotely.

Serious and motivated, I know this role will be intense.

I am confident in my ability to work within a fast growing structure, especially with the latest events, where I will be committed to being a positive driver for the goals of the company.

Thank you for considering my application and I remain at your entire disposal for an interview at any time at your convenience.
