*“Digital transformation : injunction for innovation and creativity”***



This call for applications for a doctoral contract within LabSIC focuses on the topic of the injunction to innovation and creativity during the digital transformation of institutions and companies, communities and organizations. Proposed and supervised by Dominique Carré and/or Geneviève Vidal (who are jointly responsible for thematic3[1] <applewebdata://0FFC79E6-B407-4755-8205-B2C4CF08C817#_ftn1>of LabSIC), this doctoral**contract is part of LabSIC’s thematic3 “Innovations in communication: devices, standards and uses”.


In order to encourage and guide applications for this doctoral contract, this document presents the challenges the topic presents for LabSic and our university, sets out the framework of the scientific activities in which the selected candidate will be required to register, and describes the type of doctoral research project expected by our laboratory.


*An essential research field for LabSIC, the USPN and its network***


This doctoral contract is directly related to one of the essential research fields addressed by LabSIC: innovation and hyperconnectivity. LabSIC researchers have regularly produced scientific works and publications in this field for over twenty years, affording the laboratory strong national and international recognition for these research objects.


Several programs have been designed to enrich research in this field. Of particular note are the research programs conducted in partnership or within the framework of calls for projects by various organizations: CNRS-IRMC; Labex ICCA, UDPN – Usages Des Patrimoines Numérisés –Idex-USPC; FEDER-MSHA; MSH Paris Nord et AP-HP, l’Institut “La personne en médecine” - Université de Paris ; Centre Internet et Société – CNRS); and museum institutions (for ex.Paris Musées, Universcience). Mention should also be made of scientific production in numerous publications (Hyperconnectivité, Sociologie des usages, Médiation numérique muséale, Surveillance numérique), and conferences that have been organized (Blockchain, Transitions numérique et écologique, Médiation numérique, Arts numériques, Innovation ouverte et les musées, Numérisation du patrimoine et 3D).

Research on innovation in a context of hyperconnectivity responds to a need for a critical approach to the study of technical, organizational, social, environmental and communication conditions, and the dissemination and uses of innovations in communication: networking, norms for actionin communication, new forms of social management, mobilization devices, data surveillance, and mediations in different fields. Works share the common goal of studying innovative communication devices industrialized in an intensive way, or the process of rapid industrialization, whether within different organizations or sectors of activities.

The theme of this call for a doctoral contract is of great importance to the academic world: the question of digitally transforming all sectors involves issues related to the intensive computerization of society. This has been demonstrated by work done in the area: for example, the circulation of data in the health sector has given rise to greater protection through General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with the platformization of new players entering this market (/start-ups/, the Big Five). Digital transformation also affects the education and heritage sectors, which must introduce organizational innovations while implementing -not solely digital- communication strategies and demonstrate creativity in addressing new relationships between institutions and audiences. The digital injunction is omnipresent whatever the sector,  injunction, in other words an imperative, which, moreover, is subject to acceptability, including in the art world, when, seeking professional prestige and visibility, artists deploy their creativity in the innovation market. The digital  injunction, a new promise of modernity linked to the creative  injunction, contributes to both the re-enchantment of society and the imposition of a new form of hidden rationalization.

*Expected research project***

The candidate will take into account recent developments and changes in communication and connection: digital devices, distance, mobility, platforms, accessibility, processing and exploitation of big data, algorithmization, artificial intelligence systems, supranational regulation and data protection.


The doctoral project falling within LabSIC’s thematic 3 will focus more specifically on the digital mediation devices implemented and used -or planned- in the cultural and educational sectors, or other sectors in digital transformation. The project should focus on the uses and design of inclusive innovative mediations, in other words, those aimed at all audiences, while situating selected cases (investigation) in a similar development context on an international scale.


This research will question the digital transformation (sector targeted by the candidate): to analyze digital uses, how the public relate to the devices studied, in order to identify the challenges of industrializing all communications with technological devices linked to artificial intelligence systems and new inclusive mediations.


A state-of-the-art analysis will be undertaken related to the selected research subject in order to frame the problem and the envisaged methodological framework. The candidate will analyze existing systems to establish the feasibility of the expected and justified methodology.


Analysis of the uses made by both professionals and the public (in the selected sector) will form part of a broader analytical framework (in terms of technology and communication) linked to economic models, without neglecting the legal and regulatory framework in which the studied innovations take place.


Therefore, the thesis project submitted by the candidate must articulate demanding theoretical research rooted in information and communication sciences, while applying an interdisciplinary approach that includes the human, social, and engineering sciences (even STS).


*Candidate profile and conditions for receipt and recruitment ***


The preferred profile for this position is that of a young researcher already involved in issues related to communication devices and mediations (cultural or educational, for example), who has mastered tools for the socio-economic analysis of the culture, education and communication industries and has solid skills in analyzing the uses of digital and open devices from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. Candidates should be able to establish and maintain ongoing relationships with their counterparts in the other components of LabSIC, Labex ICCA, the Erasmus Doctoral School, MSH Paris Nord, and Condorcet Campus.

For a smooth integration into Section 3, it is important that the future doctoral student has a good working knowledge of the selected sector (networks and contacts, inherent issues). Particular preference will be awarded to applications marked by a strong knowledge of the links between digital challenges and culture or pedagogy or the domain of the candidate. These are the criteria that have led us to make a specific request for a doctoral contract to recruit such a profile.

The thesis will be supervised by Geneviève Vidal and/or Dominique Carré, whose research focuses on innovations in communication.

The recruited person will be welcomed within LabSIC (UR 1803) and will thus be able to participate in the scientific activities organized by the members of the laboratory, in particular the various seminars. The doctoral student will also be able to benefit from doctoral training and seminars offered by Labex ICCA, of which LabSIC is an active and founding member, and attend the Labex ICCA summer school. Scientific exchanges centered around the theses in progress within the Labex and engaged in by doctoral students, post-doctoral students and professors-researchers specializing in the various disciplines represented within the Labex are particularly formative.


Furthermore, a workspace may be offered in the offices allocated to LabSIC on the Condorcet Campus. In addition to working facilities, the Condorcet Campus (https://www.campus-condorcet.fr/ <https://www.campus-condorcet.fr/>) will offer opportunities for scientific sharing, in particular with the LabSIC partners based there.


*Pre-requisites***


Graduates of a Master (bac+5) in information and communication sciences (minimum grade good); if from another discipline, applications must include arguments for the transition to a doctorate in information and communication sciences.


*Recruitment conditions***


Applications will be in the form of a single pdf file written in Arial 11 and contain the following:

– A cover letter including a professional plan.

– A CV (maximum two pages).

– A presentation of the thesis project (15,000 characters maximum).

If applicants are engaged in a Master (bac+5) , a letter from the supervisor should be attached guaranteeing the constant progression of the work, and the thesis defense must take place before June 25. The results of the Master (grades and average) must be sent to the secretary’s office of the Erasmus Doctoral School no later than the same date.


Candidates are invited to contact Philippe Bouquillion ((p.bouquillion /at/ free.fr) <mailto:(p.bouquillion /at/ free.fr)>) and Christine Chevret-Castellani ((christine.chevret /at/ univ-paris13.fr) <mailto:(christine.chevret /at/ univ-paris13.fr)>); final applications must be sent to the following address (direction.labsic /at/ univ-paris13.fr) <mailto:(direction.labsic /at/ univ-paris13.fr)>by 12.00 p.m. on May 16.


The laboratory will undertake the pre-selection of candidates on June 17.


The candidate preselected by the laboratory will be interviewed by the board of the Erasmus Doctoral School.
