Further studies

The students graduating from the Immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases (IMID) master program should be able to undertake a PhD research project in the fields of immunology, microbiology and/or infectious diseases. Consecutively to their PhD, the young researchers undertake one or two post-doctoral trainings of 2-3 years each, usually in foreign countries, in order to diversify their expertise.

They can then apply to permanent positions as

• Full time researchers at the national French organizations of research (“CNRS”, “INSERM”, “INRA”, “IRD” etc)
• Project managers in R&D laboratories from private biotech companies
• Part time researchers, part time teachers in French or foreign universities

Sectors of activity

Graduating from a master degree in Immunology – microbiology – infectious diseases leads to a career as a research engineer in academic or private laboratories.
