MuSkLE-PhD Programme: Building, maintaining and repairing the functional locomotor system
The MuSkLE-PhD programme aims to train 55 doctoral researchers with interdisciplinary and intersectoral expertise in the locomotor system, addressing two major societal challenges: climate change and demographic aging. As sustainable mobility demands more from the human body and aging increases physical inactivity, understanding locomotor development, function, and regeneration is essential. MuSkLE-PhD offers 36-month fellowships within a 60-month programme focused on scientific excellence, innovation, and societal impact. Building on the MuSkLE-Graduate School led by Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, the programme expands to seven universities and one university hospital across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It provides advanced training in biology, physics, mathematics, and social sciences, as well as four innovative modules, including spatial transcriptomics and AI in biomedicine. Fellows will undertake interdisciplinary research and benefit from secondments and short visits in both academic and non-academic environments. The programme features strong collaboration with the non-academic sector, including pharmaceutical companies and developers of physiological monitoring technologies. These partnerships ensure that doctoral fellows gain hands-on experience with applied research, innovation ecosystems, and career opportunities beyond academia. Recruitment will follow the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct, ensuring transparency, fairness, inclusiveness, and gender equality. MuSkLE-PhD promotes sustainable research mobility via a low-carbon, rail-connected regional model. By combining scientific excellence, responsible research, and broad-based training, MuSkLE-PhD equips researchers to address complex health, aging, and mobility challenges while contributing to the EU’s innovation and sustainability goals.
