I want to do a PhD

Doctoral School 536 Agrosciences & Sciences

The Doctoral School 536 " Agrosciences & Sciences " gathers the research units and teams of the Sciences, Technologies, Health domain of the University of Avignon, as well as some of the INRAE PACA Centre's Own or Experimental Units.

ED 536 thus federates research units with diversified disciplinary fields: Biology, Biostatistics, Chemistry, Hydrogeology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Mechanics, Agronomic Sciences, Physical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities.

More than two thirds of the teams attached to ED 536 develop their research activities in the field of agrosciences: plant physiology and pathology, plant food science, agri-food and plant extraction process science, nutrition, environment, ecology and socio-economic sciences applied to agrosystems.

Its research potential is based on 14 recognised research units, divided into 4 AU's own research units, 4 UMRs (Joint Research Units, in association with INRAE, CIRAD, CNRS or IRD) and 6 of INRAE's own units, thus bringing together around 200 teacher-researchers and researchers, including around 100 staff qualified to direct research (HdR).

The Agrosciences major of the DE is based on its partnership with INRAE PACA, as well as the Tersys Federative Research Structure (SFR) "Valorisation of Natural Plant Products, Health and Environment", the European competitiveness cluster Innov'Alliance and the CRITT Agroalimentaire PACA.

Research units attached to ED536:

• UPR AU 2151 Avignon Mathematics Laboratory
• UPR AU 4128 Avignon Computer Laboratory
• UPR AU 4278 Experimental Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory
• UMR 95 CIRAD Qualisud, Laboratory of Fruit and Vegetable Physiology
• UMR 408 INRAE Safety and Quality of Plant-based Products
• UMR 1114 INRAE Mediterranean Environment & Agro-Hydrosystems Modelling
• UMR CNRS 7263 - IRD 237 Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity & Ecology
• UR INRAE 406 Bees & Environment
• UR INRAE 407 Plant Pathology
• UR INRAE Eco-Development
• UR INRAE 546 Biostatistics & Spatial Processes
• UR INRAE 1052 Genetics and Improvement of Fruits and Vegetables
• UR INRAE 1115 Plants & Horticultural Cropping Systems
• UPRI - Own Research and Innovation Unit
• UAR 3538 LSBB Low Noise Underground Laboratory

The doctoral student's resource conditions (doctoral contracts, CIFREs, scholarships from the Ministry of Foreign AffairsEPST grants, research contract funding, Jobs for Young Doctoral Students etc.) during the preparation of the thesis must be explicitly defined at the start of the thesis. Specific funding (doctoral contract, CIFRE contract, MAE, CNRS, ADEME grant, etc.) gives full-time doctoral student status.

ED 536's own system
All doctoral students (except co-tutors) must be funded. Mandatory prerequisite for registration: a minimum net monthly income equivalent to the current SMIC.

Doctoral Advisors mission in a company, administration or community
A doctoral student may be involved, for all or part of the three years of his/her thesis, in a project defined jointly with a company or organisation. His/her contribution to the project implies a regular presence at the partner's place, which must not exceed 32 days per year.

This year, applications are made via the Adum platform.
The topics will be posted online as they become available. We invite you to consult this page regularly: https://www.adum.fr/as/ed/proposition.pl?site=avignon

Audition procedure for ED 536 doctoral contracts :

10 min presentation by the candidate + 10 min discussion with the jury
A presentation with no more than 5 slides is recommended.
Slide 1: CV
Slides 2 to 4: research experience (M2 internship or other) or, failing that, a short presentation on a scientific subject of the candidate's choice that has aroused his/her particular interest during his/her training
Slide 5: coherence between the candidate's background, professional project and thesis topic

15 min presentation by the candidate + 15 min discussion with the jury

A presentation with no more than 5 slides is recommended.

Year 2023/2024: online registration opens on 1ᵉʳ July 2023 and closes on 30 November 2023

Online registration is compulsory and must be done between 1ᵉʳ July and the last week of November via the platform ADUM.
>> ADUM registration procedure

The application form in the first year of the thesis is composed of :

• the application for registration completed online
• the thesis charter
• the training contract
• l'Certificate of funding the funding organisation (except for doctoral students benefiting from an AU Doctoral Contract)
• the candidate's curriculum vitae
• description of the candidate selection process in a supporting letter from the thesis director: description in one paragraph of the number of candidates who applied for the thesis topic, the number of candidates who were selected/auditioned and the number of candidates who were ranked

The training contract specifies the following points:

• Rights and duties of the thesis director and the doctoral student
• PhD subject and degree discipline
• Funding conditions for the doctoral student
• Full or part-time doctorate (if part-time, professional status to be specified)
• Timetable of the research project
• Supervision arrangements (director, co-director, co-supervisor)
• Material conditions for carrying out the project and, if applicable, specific safety conditions
• Methods of integration into the laboratory
• Professional project of the doctoral student
• Individual training course linked to this personal project
• Objectives for the valorisation of research work

This training agreement may be modified at the time of re-registration by agreement signed by the parties.

Once their pre-registration has been validated on ADUM, students receive an automatic e-mail to finalise their administrative registration (including payment of registration fees).

An institutional address is then assigned to the doctoral student, in the form of prenom.nom@alumni.univ-avignon.fr. This address will serve as a communication link with the doctoral schools throughout the course and beyond.

Validation of registration for a doctoral thesis is pronounced by the head of the institution to which the research unit is attached on the proposal of the director of the ED.

Specific cases:

1) No Master's or Engineering degree

By way of derogation and on the proposal of the ED/CED office, the head of the institution may register students who have completed studies of an equivalent level abroad and who do not hold a Master's degree.
In addition to the enrolment application form, the application for exemption from the Master's course must include the following information:

• an official request from the applicant specifying the subject, the host laboratory and the funding conditions
• a letter from the thesis director supporting the application
• a detailed curriculum vitae of the applicant (including, if applicable, a transcript of records and a list of publications)
• copies of diplomas (translated into French, if necessary)

2) Co-supervision

The doctoral degree can be obtained as part of a cotutelle partnership between AU and a foreign university. In this case, the doctorate is supervised by an AU director and a co-director from the partner university. Doctoral students wishing to register as cotutelle students must submit the following documents to the ED, along with the registration authorisation file a request for authorisation to register as a co-tutor. The application form for authorisation to register as a joint supervisor of a thesis will be completed on the ADUM platform and validated by the thesis supervisor and the director of the Avignon Université research unit.

During their stay at Avignon Université, doctoral students must provide proof of a minimum monthly income equivalent to the current minimum wage. They may apply to the institution's Aides financières aux cotutelles programme (see "Aides à mobilité" in the section "Je suis actuellement en doctorat").

Once the application has been approved, a cotutelle agreement will be drawn up by the ED.

After a single defence, the doctorate will be awarded a double degree by the two partner universities.

3) Part-time doctorate

Certain doctoral projects can be carried out without doctoral funding (on a part-time basis). The following four conditions must be met:

• the doctoral student has another regular and qualified professional activity (secondary school teacher, doctor, self-employed professional, etc.);
• this activity cannot be suspended during the doctoral project;
• the doctoral student's career plan is consistent with the objective of obtaining a doctorate;
• the research problem will not suffer from the prolongation of the work (risks in the case of a competitive or rapidly evolving scientific context, which can rapidly render certain results obsolete).

In the case of a full-time activity, an amendment to the training agreement must be formalised between all the parties (doctoral student, doctoral director, doctoral school, employer for the research part and employer for the other activity) on the working time dedicated to the thesis.

Specific case of ED 537
Doctoral students without doctoral funding must ensure that they have the material and financial resources necessary to complete their doctoral project.

Avignon University offers a specific method of preparing for the doctorate when the candidate has already carried out research work in the course of his/her professional activity. This validation of acquired experience confers the grade of doctor of Avignon University, in the same way as the classic doctoral training. It only takes into account the work and studies written by the candidate at the time of submitting his/her application and does not require any new research a priori.
The procedure consists of three stages: verification of the admissibility of the application, assessment of the dissertation and the dissertation defence. Applications should be sent to the Lifelong Learning Department (SFTLVThe admissibility of the application is assessed :

• by a VAE advisor appointed by the Director of the SFTLV,
• by the doctoral school in which registration is requested.

Research-Creation Label

The Research-Creation Label (Label R-C) attests to an essential relationship to creative practice and to the epistemological framework of research developed in connection with writing a thesis. The quality of the theoretical essay and the artistic work is the basis for the value of the thesis, which may be in different disciplinary fields (e.g. comparative literature, performing arts (theatre, cinema, dance), information and communication, anthropology, cultural mediation, museology, aesthetics, digital), although this list is not restrictive. On the other hand, this label can only be attached to a discipline recognised by Avignon University.
