[Translate to English:] Demande de direction sans HDR

Upon recommendation by the Doctoral School (EG) and after approval by the Scientific Council, the University of Lille may authorise a person who holds a PhD but does not hold an HDR to supervise a thesis. This authorisation is valid for a single thesis and is part of a short-term HDR defence project. A doctor without HDR may thus co-supervise a maximum of one doctoral student at any given time. The threshold for co-supervision without HDR is therefore set at 50%. This authorisation for co-supervision may be obtained by a permanent member of a laboratory or a member of a company hosting the doctoral student via a CIFRE agreement or other industrial funding. 

Applications for supervision:

• Permanent member of the research units at the University of Lille, holder of a PhD, having obtained selective national or international funding including thesis funding (ANR JCJC, ERC, European project, Chairs) – A commitment to pass the HDR will be required

Applications for co-supervision (mandatory with HDR staff from the University of Lille):

• Permanent member of the University of Lille's research units, holder of a PhD wishing to co-supervise a thesis with HDR staff from the University of Lille – A commitment to pass the HDR will be required
• Prominent figure from the socio-economic world, holder of a PhD, within the framework of a CIFRE agreement
• A figure from a foreign university, holding a PhD, who is not a full professor, a member of a research unit at the University of Lille and whose stay covers at least the duration of the thesis. At the same time, it is recommended that they apply for CNU qualification in order to obtain HDR equivalence.
• Staff from the University of Lille on secondment (Pr/MCF or equivalent) no longer reporting to the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, holding a PhD

Candidates for thesis co-supervision should send a single PDF file to thi.nguyenuniv-lillefr containing:

• Application for thesis supervision/co-supervision without HDR Demande de direction/codirection de thèse non HDR
• Detailed CV (title, thesis supervisor, date of defence, institution, current position with start date, specialisation, research unit) 
• Cover letter for thesis supervision or co-supervision
• Description of the thesis project and, if selective funding, supporting documentation
• Reasoned opinion of the research unit management and the graduate school of enrolment
• In the case of co-supervision, opinion of the HDR thesis supervisor
• List of publications
• For staff outside the University of Lille: attach the form intended for the employer
• For figures from the socio-economic world (CIFRE): reasoned opinion of the employer
• For seconded persons: agreement between the University of Lille and the employer

Candidates must submit their complete application to the ED one month before the date of the Assembly.

The ED's executive committee reviews the applications with the representative of the institution concerned. Once approved, they will be forwarded by the ED to the doctoral affairs department no later than 10 days before the date of the CS-CFVU Assembly (on average every two months).
