PhDOOC is an association, constituted under the French law of 1901, whose aim is to train and support PhD candidates and graduates, and enable the creation of a community.

To do this, we have launched the first MOOC in France on career orientation for PhD graduates in all fields. 

Our aim is to create a space dedicated to information, discussion and mutual assistance on this subject. The association currently has five voluntary members, who design and manage the MOOC

The “PhD and Career Development” MOOC is now entirely available in both French and English, and can be taken and completed in either of these languages.

Please note that some of the resources shared in the English version of the MOOC (articles, videos, etc.) are different from the ones in French, but have been chosen so that they provide similarly relevant information for you. 

THE AIMS OF THIS MOOC

PhDs offer access to a multitude of careers, but many PhD candidates do not know  where to find out about them. Many of them feel isolated and struggle to find the time to prepare for their future. There are, however, an increasing number of initiatives designed to help guide PhD students and graduates in their Career Development.

Our PhDOOC association offers PhD candidates and graduates a MOOC designed to familiarize them with the tools and resources available online. This tailor-made collaborative initiative allows them to draw on the support of a community whilst taking into account their limited time and availability.

Our aim is to create a space for discussing and finding information on post-doctoral careers. We hope that this MOOC will help create a community focused on sharing, collaboration and peer support.

The entire MOOC can be followed at your own pace. During the six-week animation period, content, activities and resources can be accessed at any time. Every Wednesday, a new unit opens, and its content remains accessible until the end of the MOOC!

Each unit is made up of several granules in which you'll find videos and resources in addition to our commentaries.
