Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a doctorate defended between December 2021 and December 2026 inclusive
[ ] any nationality except French
[ ] not living or working in France at the time of applying

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "Online application through the MOPGA portal named on the Campus France page"

3. DATES
- Closes 15 December 2026, in 54 days.
- On the date, the listing says: closing date as printed on the Campus France page, no time zone given
- Aim to send it by 12 December 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Applicants must be moving to France from abroad and must not already live or work there.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
