About this position

Institute and research environment. This postdoctoral position is based at the Institute for Research on Education (IREDU), within the INSPE of the University of Burgundy Europe in Dijon. IREDU works on effectiveness and equity in education, from secondary to higher education, and is also a regional associated center of Céreq, with research linked to graduate employability and education-to-employment transitions.

Project focus. The researcher will join a 36-month project on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in schools. The project studies how high school students, especially in vocational pathways, develop competencies linked to the national Sustainable Development framework, and how they perceive their own ability to contribute to societal transitions and act responsibly on sustainability issues through their professional choices.

Role in the project. During the first two years of the project, the postdoctoral researcher will take a scientific leadership role. The work includes defining the theoretical and conceptual framework, organizing the project timeline and meetings, coordinating the project group and steering committee, managing shared documentation tools, and helping shape the research design and field procedures.

Research activities. The postdoc will help develop and test research instruments, including questionnaires, interview guides, and school-visit protocols. The role also involves fieldwork in Burgundy schools, including interviews with ESD coordinators and students, school visits, and coordination with the rectorate’s statistical unit for database matching and information collection.

Analysis and dissemination. The position includes supervising data preparation, carrying out statistical analyses and interview analysis, and supporting partners in using the project’s analytical methods. The researcher will also contribute to reports, academic dissemination, seminars, journal articles, conferences, and presentations to institutional partners.

Host partners. The project is built around collaboration between schools in the Dijon Academy, the Dijon Academy Rectorate, IREDU, and related academic and policy stakeholders.

Start, duration, and work setting. The post is a full-time temporary position, with remote work possible after the integration period and subject to project requirements. The contract is initially for one year and renewable.
