*“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.
