PhD at LEST
The PhD programme at LEST is set within a multidisciplinary research environment combining sociology, economics, management, political science and related disciplines. PhD students play a full part in the laboratory’s academic life through seminars, study days, collaborative projects and exchanges with the research teams.
PhD supervision
The LEST doctoral programme is based on academic and collective support provided by thesis supervisors, the doctoral committee and the affiliated doctoral schools. Doctoral students benefit from regular monitoring of their work, opportunities for academic discussion and support with administrative procedures, career development and the dissemination of their research.
International mobility
The LEST welcomes PhD students funded through various schemes: doctoral contracts, CIFRE agreements, research projects or institutional funding. The laboratory also encourages an international outlook in doctoral programmes through scientific collaborations, research mobility schemes and by hosting foreign researchers.
Research Master’s degrees
The LEST is involved in several Master’s programmes at Aix-Marseille University that prepare students for doctoral study. The OTRH (Organisation, Work and Human Resources) and Sociology programmes enable students to develop skills in investigation, analysis and research into changes in the world of work, organisations and social spheres, in close connection with the laboratory’s scientific activities
