Ciber PhD Opportunities
A Commitment to PhD students
As part of the Ciber research strategy, we provide PhD opportunities. Ciber offers talented graduates the chance to join Ciber as PhD students. Being hosted and supervised by senior researchers of Ciber, these PhD students face challenges in several research fields: Ethics and Development, Finance and Accounting, Portfolio Management, Decision Systems, and Operational Research.
The combination of senior and junior researchers helps the active research dynamics of the Ciber team.
