PhD and Career Development
MOOC
PhDOOC is an association, constituted under the French law of 1901, whose aim is to train and support PhD students and graduates, and enable the creation of a community. To do this, we have launched the first MOOC in France on career development for PhD candidates and graduates in all fields. Our aim is to create a space dedicated to information sharing, discussion and mutual assistance on this topic.
Many people contribute to the success of PhDOOC:
PhDOOC is run exclusively by its team of volunteers:
You will find our charter of commitment and the details of the volunteering missions here.
Having a PhD degree opens the doors to a multitude of careers, but many PhD candidates and holders do not know where to start when it comes to getting the right information. They feel isolated and struggle to find time to prepare for their future. There are, however, an increasing number of initiatives designed to help guide PhD candidates and holders in their career development.
Our PhDOOC association offers PhD candidates and graduates a MOOC designed to help them familiarize with the tools and resources available for them online. This tailor-made collaborative initiative allows them to get support from a community of PhD fellows whilst getting the training they need whenever they are free and able.
Our aim is to create a space for finding/sharing and discussing information on post-doctoral careers. We hope that this MOOC will favor the creation of a community focused on sharing, collaboration and peer support.

PhDOOC would not be able to run its activities successfully without the support of their amazing partners!
They support us, make the MOOC accessible to their PhD students and graduates, and provide them with a certificate of achievement.
They participate in the development of content or provide their expertise during live web conferences.
Because we are stronger together, you will find below our communication partners, as well as institutions that allow us to find e-pathfinders, or even people who share useful resources with us. Many thanks to all of you for your support!

A MOOC is an online training that is accessible to all, and can allow you to take courses with a community of experts and participants.
Once you have completed the MOOC and passed all the tests and completed the activities of the learning pathway of your own choice, you will be able to download your certificate of achievement on the MOOC platform. However, please note that you must pay for this certificate, either by being registered with PhDOOC, or through your institution if it has partnered with us.
You can enroll in the MOOC to follow the upcoming season for free.
The next season will start on January , 2022, but you cannot yet enroll in the MOOC.
A calendar with scheduled live webinars will be posted on the MOOC website, but please note that you can take this training at your own pace. All you need is good internet access!

“J'ai participé avec plaisir aux deux éditions du PhDOOC ! La première édition m'avait tellement convaincue que j'ai accepté avec plaisir mon rôle d'e-claireuse lors cette seconde édition. Les contenus sont pertinents et m'ont permis de mettre entre autres mon CV à jour et de multiplier les entretiens fin 2017 ! Merci à toute l'équipe de PhDOOC :)”
“Ce MOOC a été pour moi une lueur d'espoir au bout du tunnel !! J'ai pu me rendre compte que les compétences que j'ai acquises pendant ma thèse peuvent tout à fait être attractives pour une entreprise, j'ai découvert un éventail de métiers plus large que celui que je m'étais imaginé, j'ai appris beaucoup en lisant les expériences et les retours d'activité de chacun, j'ai découvert de nouveaux outils spécifiques pour les docteurs… Je trouve que ce MOOC est très bien structuré ! Au cours des activités (qui sont très ludiques), on se rend compte que l'on construit étape par étape son projet professionnel, et à la fin on se sent plus confiant et prêt à réaliser enfin des candidatures...”
“Bravo aux promoteurs et organisateurs de ce Mooc. Il fait prendre conscience qu'il faut voir au-delà de sa recherche et anticiper sur la suite. Rien n'est évident, même pour un docteur. Les différentes ressources (documents, liens) sont de précieux secours pour approfondir par la suite. De plus, les remarques et contributions des un(e)s et des autres ont enrichi le sujet...”
