Description du projet
Produire des doctorats pluridisciplinaires en e-santé
Les futurs docteurs en e-santé devront être compétents en recherche interdisciplinaire et acquérir des compétences transférables à des postes universitaires ou non universitaires. Le projet BoostUrCAreer a vu le jour à l’Université Côte d’Azur, où les candidats au diplôme travailleront dans deux des laboratoires de l’université, en partenariat avec un universitaire étranger et un non universitaire. Le programme comprendra deux superviseurs de laboratoire, un tuteur universitaire et un mentor non universitaire. Ils dispenseront des conseils sur la thèse de doctorat et aideront le diplômé lors de sa transition vers le marché du travail. Une période de six mois dans un laboratoire à l’étranger améliorera la formation et augmentera les futures perspectives professionnelles des candidats.
Objectif
BoostUrCAreer project aims at implementing at Université Côte d’Azur (UCA) a multidisciplinary doctoral programme in e-health to attract to the French Riviera early-stage researchers (ESRs) with the world highest academic, creative and innovative potentials and to enhance their employability with the support from the Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur socio-economic dynamism. The proposed programme will foster interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international experiences with the objective of contributing to creating a new generation of PhDs equipped for both academic and non-academic careers in e-health and inclined to the great research and innovation challenges of tomorrow. In line with the strategy of excellence, interdisciplinary and innovation pursued by UCA, every doctoral project will have to associate two laboratories of UCA, a foreign academic partner and a non-academic one. BoostUrCAreer will thus provide a diversified education combining the most basic aspects of research with the practice of transfer toward other the socio-economic world. This dual expertise represents a real added value for career development and is acquired thanks to specific trainings on practical and transferable skills and a six-month mobility abroad at an international research laboratory. A close follow-up as well by two academic supervisors in fundamental laboratories and by an academic tutor and a local non-academic mentor will ensure the quality of doctoral theses and further facilitate the ESRs’ integration to the workforce. High-level applicants are selected through a merit-based, open and fair process to develop projects with UCA excellent research teams. They will receive an attractive allowance and dedicated research funds. BoostUrCAreer will promote European best practices for research and innovations and should serve as a model to disseminate these policies to the whole region.
