Researcher career

The Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) endorses the recognition of the candidate’s high scientific level, the original character of their approach in a scientific field, their aptitude for mastering a research strategy in a sufficiently broad scientific or technological field and their ability to oversee young researchers. HDR is mandatory to apply for positions as university professors. 
Candidates for the accreditation to supervise research must hold a doctorate or provide evidence of a degree, work or experience of an equivalent level to a doctorate.
 
For information, candidates should contact the HDR secretariat based in the Research Department, by email at: secretariathdr@ml.u-cergy.fr
