She will begin her doctorate in September with prestigious funding within a team from the French Institute of Islamology. I am extremely proud of the results that all the young researchers I have supported this year have obtained: all are winners, except two who are first on the supplementary list and awaiting other results, and two who are still in the process of setting up a CIFRE with a company and a public structure that have committed to their side. I have therefore decided to share with you the processes that I use to prepare the young researchers that I have supported since 2021, hoping that this framework will allow as many people as possible to understand the expectations of the juries and to respond to them effectively. The advice and guidance that you will find here are valid for the doctoral contract competition, but also for most research funding offers that operate on the principle of an initial selection based on the file followed by a 10 to 15 minute hearing. This article will also be very useful to you if you are taking the competitive exam in so-called "hard" sciences, the principle being the same although the recruitment is a little different. Finally, I would like to point out that all of these successes are not the result of chance, and are essentially based on two key parameters: the quality of the project and the choice of the thesis director have been systematically decisive. By this I mean that in SHS, an application for this type of funding always involves a global preparation of the project in advance. The thesis project must be framed and written with the greatest care, never alone, and the choice of the person who will direct your project must be mastered. The application for funding only comes after these two stages of preparation, which will often have lasted several months and which it would be harmful - if not futile - to neglect. ▬▬▬▬▬ SUMMARY ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 1:28 How to pass the doctoral contract competition - intro 3:13 The presentation 9:38 The questions ▬▬▬▬▬ WHO AM I? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ My name is Erika Dupont, I have been a Doctor in Contemporary Art History since 2020. Without funding for three years, I completed my thesis thanks to funding from the prestigious Yale University. During my studies, I was faced with many questions and like most doctoral students, I was very poorly supported in all my efforts and my journey was truly that of a fighter. I have always been keen to help doctoral students. At the beginning of my doctoral studies, I was elected to represent doctoral students on the Laboratory Councils and at the doctoral school, and now I want to devote myself entirely to supporting doctoral students. Why? Because if I had been supported myself, I would have saved precious time, made fewer mistakes, fumbled less and asserted myself much more quickly in the research community. I would have lost much less energy and probably earned my living much sooner. Instead, I remained precarious for years and today, I want to help as many doctoral students as possible to get out of this precariousness by giving them the keys that I acquired through the sweat of my brow. 🛎 SUBSCRIBE! 🛎 👉 / @erikadupont 👉 The Blog: https://erikadupont.com/blog/ 👉 Facebook: / dupont.erika 👉 Insta: / erika.dupont_vstein
