PhD Program - Études numériques Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale Category Linguistics / Literature Position PhD Program Le programme doctoral en Études numériques propose aux doctorant·e·s des Universités de la CUSO (Fribourg, Genève, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, et Graduate Institute de Genève) un espace de formation, de réflexion et de partage autour des enjeux des cultures, des sociétés et des humanités numériques. Résolument interdisciplinaire, il permet à des étudiant·e·s issus d’horizons très divers de se rencontrer et de confronter leurs méthodologies, des études littéraire, de l’histoire et l’histoire de l’art aux sciences sociales et à la géographie, en passant par la linguistique, les langues et la philosophie. Le programme a pour vocation de fournir un encadrement aux recherches doctorales qui impliquent l’utilisation d’outils informatiques ou l’étude des cultures numériques, l’analyse critique de sources numériques/ numérisées, ou encore les ramifications sociales et politiques de la numérisation. Le programme doctoral en Études numériques, né en 2017 et financé d’abord par swissuniversities (2017-2020), a intégré la CUSO en janvier 2022. Le programme en Études numériques a été envisagé comme une offre complémentaire et flexible . Il est ainsi tout à fait possible de s’y inscrire pour profiter de quelques rendez-vous par année, sans être contraint·e de participer à des événements récurrents. Ainsi, les différentes activités du programme ne nécessitent pas de prérequis et peuvent être suivies séparément . En raison des formations et de la réflexion qui y sont proposées sur les outils numériques, en collaboration avec des chercheurs et des chercheuses formé·e·s en SHS utilisant le numérique et avec des ingénieur·e·s, ce programme revêt une dimension professionnalisante , bien au-delà du milieu académique. The doctoral programme in Digital Studies offers doctoral students from the CUSO universities (Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, and the Graduate Institute of Geneva) a space for training, reflection and sharing on the challenges of cultures, societies and digital humanities. Resolutely interdisciplinary, it allows students from very different backgrounds to meet and compare their methodologies, from literary studies, history and art history to social sciences and geography, via linguistics, languages and philosophy. The programme aims to provide guidance for doctoral research that involves the use of computational tools or the study of digital cultures, the critical analysis of digital/digitalised sources, or the social and political ramifications of digitalisation. The doctoral programme in Digital Studies, born in 2017 and initially funded by swissuniversities (2017-2020), joined CUSO in January 2022. The programme in Digital Studies was envisaged as a complementary and flexible offer . It is therefore possible to register for a few events per year, without being obliged to participate in recurrent events. The different activities of the programme do not require any prerequisites and can be followed separately . Because of the training and reflection on digital tools offered, in collaboration with researchers trained in social and human sciences using digital technology and with engineers, this programme has a professionalizing dimension , well beyond the academic world.
