La professionnalisation du doctorat : vers une segmentation de la formation doctorale et des parcours des docteurs ?
2020
Borrowing from Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical corpus, the thesis analyzes the process of professionalization of the doctorate that took place in France from the mid-2000s. The main objectives of the movement are to improve the professional future of PhDs, to reduce job insecurity at the beginning of their careers and to promote their integration into companies. At a time when the professional integration of higher education graduates and the performance of innovation systems are major challenges for national policies, the future of PhDs is characterized by a high degree of job insecurity in public research jobs and poor integration into companies. As a result, the added value of the PhD on t…
La vulgarisation scientifique et les doctorants : mesure de l'engagement, exploration d'effets sur le chercheur
2018
We ask two questions: what are the factors that influence researchers’ public engagement activities (PEA)? And what are the impacts of these activities on the researcher? After presenting a historical overview of PEA, we analyze 20 surveys carried out between 1967 and 2014. We identify some global trends: PEA is generally positively perceived, researcher’s engagement is occasional but robust. Besides those trends some differences appear between studies based on theoretical models and empirical studies: the latter report complaints such as lack of time or lack of recognition, whereas theoretical-based ones challenge these statements.To further explore our two questions, we used two approache…

Redox regulation of genome stability by effects on gene expression, epigenetic pathways and DNA damage/repair
2015
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (e.g. H2O2, nitric oxide) confer redox regulation of essential cellular signaling pathways such as cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and apoptosis. In addition, classical regulation of gene expression or activity, including gene transcription to RNA followed by translation to the protein level, by transcription factors (e.g. NF-κB, HIF-1α) and mRNA binding proteins (e.g. GAPDH, HuR) is subject to redox regulation. This review will give an update of recent discoveries in this field, and specifically highlight the impact of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species on DNA repair systems that contribute to genomic stability. Emphasis will be placed …

El impacto de las estancias internacionales en el desarrollo de competencias en estudiantes de doctorado y su transferencia en diversos contextos
2019
El profesorado se enfrenta a crecientes y cambiantes demandas sociales que requieren una actualización constante de las competencias profesionales. En este sentido, el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) plantea la importancia del papel de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en diversos entornos y en cooperación con el mundo laboral y de la investigación. De hecho, estas competencias pueden ser desarrolladas, entre otras posibilidades, mediante las experiencias de estancias internacionales. El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar, mediante entrevistas, el papel de las estancias en el desarrollo de las competencias de estudiantes de doctorado y su posterior transferencia al alumnado…
International Mobility of PhD Graduates and the Construction of Scientific Careers: The French Example
2014
Expatriation of higher-education graduates raises much concern in many countries often in conjunction with talk about the brain drain. It supposedly entails a risk of losing the skills required for a competitive economy. The issue is all the more acute for PhD graduates, who are expected to play a major part in the knowledge economy (Dasgupta and David, 1994). However, questions arise as to the causes of such mobility and its consequences for young graduates' individual career paths. The academic literature on graduate migration discusses these questions in terms of theory focusing on the push and pull factors liable to explain the motivations behind individual PhD graduate mobility (Dongbi…
La stabilisation des jeunes docteurs sur le marché de l'emploi académique
2009
Modes of access to the academic career are generally regarded as crucial element of policy on science and higher education in a country. This can influence the future productivity of teaching and research in different countries. Our research is specifically concerned with the factors that may explain the conditions that lead to integration of researchers and lecturers in the academic career in France. More precisely, the paper analyses the factors affecting the access duration to a permanent job in the French academic sector. We use data from a French survey “Generation 2001”, carried out by the Cereq. We focus on a sample of 1400 individuals who obtained their PhDs in 2001 and were intervi…
From Nowhere to Everywhere

International audience; This paper presents a synthetic view of a variety of projects built upon an Erasmuss Mundus Master Course. It highlights double degree programs, European credits transfer, joint PhDs, research collaborations as well as few other related European projects going from Thematic Networks to another Erasmus Mundus Course.
The Ph.D.-candidate as an information literate resource: developing research support and information literacy skills in an informal setting
2013
Published version of an article in the journal Liber Quarterly, Open Access This article aims to suggest a new way of developing research support for PhD-candidates. Previous research on the field of research support is greatly focused on librarians’ competencies and how to assist researchers with what they lack in information literacy (IL) skills. There is little focus on collaboration with researchers to achieve a mutual learning outcome in regard to developing research support and IL skills. A socio-cultural view on IL indicates that IL skills are developed in a context, and therefore are situated. A high level of IL in one situation could be regarded as insufficient in another. Therefor…
