About the job
PhD Program - Études Médiévales
CategoryPositionIn partnership with the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel and Fribourg, the Doctoral Programme in Medieval Studies aims to be an interdisciplinary platform. It seeks to bring together all doctoral candidates from the French-speaking region working on the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to create a shared space for reflection.
The Doctoral Programme in Medieval Studies pursues several objectives:
Support and strengthen doctoral training in Medieval Studies at the Swiss level, by providing doctoral candidates with facilitated access to specialists from other fields of study. The doctoral programme is conceived as a place for exchanges intended to encourage professional development and autonomy of doctoral candidates.
Promote truly interdisciplinary research. The doctoral programme aims to support and encourage networking among doctoral candidates; in this way, they will have the opportunity to meet their peers, create synergies, and engage with academic cultures different from their own. While deepening their scientific knowledge, they will be able to more easily connect with high-level researchers.
Enable the valorisation of research and enhance doctoral candidates’ communication skills, by fostering the acquisition of practical experience in presenting their research results and in scientific popularisation. The wide range of transversal training offered by CUSO usefully complements the more specific programme in Medieval Studies.
Raise awareness of the diversity of acquired skills, allowing the identification of transferable know-how and knowledge. The doctorate offers very high-level training and promotes the acquisition of solid knowledge and valuable skills. The doctoral programme helps doctoral candidates to better master their professional future, academic or non-academic, and to gain visibility as well as scientific credibility.
