Alliance Program: Call for Doctoral Mobility
Forecasted
Alliance Program: Call for Doctoral Mobility supports doctoral students at Columbia and its French partners to undertake supervised research visits across the Atlantic and advance projects in any discipline.
Funder: Columbia University
Due Dates (Anticipated): December 2026 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Support for doctoral research mobility
Summary: The Alliance Program supports supervised research visits between Columbia University and its three French partner institutions for doctoral students in any discipline.
Key Information: Applicants must be doctoral students affiliated with an Alliance partner institution and conduct their visit at a partner across the Atlantic.
Description
Columbia University’s Alliance Program, with École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, supports intercontinental doctoral research projects in all disciplines. The call finances research mobility so doctoral students can pursue their projects abroad under the supervision of a faculty member at a host institution.
The exchange works in both directions: doctoral students at the three French partners may visit Columbia, while Columbia doctoral students may visit any of the three French institutions. The program’s focus is the research undertaken during the visit, connecting doctoral work across the Alliance network.
