What the professionals say“Rather than go to work in a company, I opted for research because it offers greater freedom and independence, while allowing me to retain the ‘applied’ dimension.When talking about IT, what’s striking is that most people think of boys spending hours playing online, and people who are clued in when it comes to installing an operating system. But that’s not IT at all! IT is a combination of science, theory and programming. And programming is a way to resolve problems that call for creativity. You have to have your wits about you, because there’s always more than one solution. The challenge is to find the best one, and when you succeed, the satisfaction is tremendous!” Maja (Belgium), Post-Doctoral Researcher, INRIA Futurs
“A society can only be as evolved as its knowledge base. Training our scientists also contributes to helping society advance.I take part in research projects on computational neuroscience and maintain a website on scientific culture (interstices.info). I also spend a significant part of my time keeping an eye on the doctoral and post-doctoral researchers. That’s my contribution to the general functioning of the Institute and in this respect I’m performing a service for the community. Doctoral students and post-doctorals are a priority for INRIA, research and business. I facilitate their integration and help them seek funding for their work.” Thierry, Head of Training-Through-Research, INRIA Sophia Antipolis - MéditerranéeTestimonials by post-docs: Former post-doc are sharing their experience at INRIA with you... |
Tackling a complex problem, reviewing everything that’s been done to date in a particular area, developing ideas, applying strict scientific methods, heading up a project, getting to know and draw support from a network of international experts... these are all significant assets when putting together a thesis. It represents an opportunity to work in research or R&D and acquire skills, such as time management, which will be valued by companies and laboratories alike, the ability to write and speak well, compile rigorous arguments, work in teams, appreciate other cultures, etc. The preparation of a thesis is a professional project for which INRIA offers an exceptional environment. The Institute also allows young doctors to complement their thesis with a spell spent abroad or in a laboratory in a company in France.
