Physics Doctoral School

Calendar of ED PHYS HDR Committee meetings

All HDR applications must be submitted to the doctoral school to which the candidate wishes to be attached. By choosing the HDR committee of a doctoral school, the candidate, after obtaining the HDR, will automatically be attached to ED PHYS. The composition and operation of this committee have been validated by the UGA Scientific Council.

If a researcher who has already obtained an HDR but who is not attached to this doctoral school wishes to become attached, he or she will be asked to submit a detailed CV mentioning his or her past supervisions, as well as a letter explaining why he or she wishes to be attached. Their application will then be examined by the ED PHYS HDR Committee and by the Doctoral College's monthly commission.

Working procedure of the HDR committee

To judge the admissibility of the application, the general criteria are :

•  5 to 7 years minimum after the thesis
•  Have made a significant contribution to the advancement of a research theme.
•  A number of publications or patents showing sustained activity during this period; at least 1 to 2 per year.
•  Supervision of master's courses and co-supervision of a thesis, preferably a defended thesis.
•  Significant future research projects.
