Job Description
Thesis Subject
Longitudinal Modeling of Trajectories at the Intersection of Sport and Education: Differentiated Effects of Capital and Support Systems
The doctoral candidate will participate in all scientific dimensions of the project:
- Quantitative component: harmonization and processing of longitudinal and multi-source databases; exploratory and multivariate statistical analyses; trajectory modeling; data visualizations and interpretive analyses.
- Qualitative component: conducting semi-structured interviews; observing support systems; thematic and processual analysis of trajectories; integration of qualitative and quantitative results.
Scientific dissemination: participation in national and international conferences; writing scientific articles; involvement in seminars at partner laboratories; participation in the scientific activities of the research units.
Your Work Environment
The DYNAMOP project combines a dispositional sociology attentive to pathways to success and orientation in higher education with a longitudinal quantitative approach derived from data science applied to the social sciences. It examines how institutions situated at the intersection of sports and educational policies contribute to shaping the conditions for the conversion of capital (academic and athletic) and to transforming, perpetuating, or altering the effects of socio-demographic characteristics in the differentiated structuring of academic success and pathways.
This issue is explored in two complementary institutional settings:
- the CREPS (Regional Center for Sports and Physical Education) in Toulouse: where support mechanisms for dual academic and athletic projects and boarding schooling structure the transition between high school and higher education;
- The STAPS (Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities) program in Toulouse: an academic environment strongly structured by its proximity to the world of sports, equipped with specific support mechanisms for student success (the "Yes if" pathway, the 3PE and APDP modules, accommodations for high-level athletes, and the L1/BPJEPS pathway).
The aim is to analyze how athletic capital interacts with academic capital and socio-demographic characteristics to produce differentiated pathways for academic guidance and success, and how institutional mechanisms modulate (or even reconfigure) the conditions for converting this capital. By combining data science, longitudinal modeling, and qualitative research, the project integrates statistical objectification of patterns with analysis of the underlying social mechanisms.
Desired profile: Education: Master 2 or equivalent degree in: data science applied to social sciences, sociology, STAPS, statistics or related disciplines. Expected skills • interest in the analysis of educational, sporting and student trajectories as well as the mechanisms of social differentiation • aptitude for interdisciplinary approaches • mastery of quantitative and/or qualitative methods in social sciences • skills in data processing and analysis (knowledge of R and database management systems will be an asset) • good writing skills, analytical mind and autonomy in work
Scientific supervision The thesis will be co-supervised by: - Sébastien Déjean, Toulouse Institute of Mathematics (IMT – UMR CNRS 5219) - Lucie Forté, CreSco - University of Toulouse (URU 7419) The doctoral student will be integrated into an interdisciplinary research environment associating the Toulouse Institute of Mathematics, CreSco, the Faculty of Sport Sciences and Human Movement and the CREPS of Toulouse.
