ANNEX: Presentation of the Tenure Track CAP 20-25 system at UCA
Objectives of the Tenure Track CAP 20-25 system:
This system aims to allow the most technologically advanced scientific fields at the Clermont academic institute to remain/become competitive on a global scale in terms of recruitment by putting in place a specific process for becoming tenured that should remain exceptional.
Description of the system:
The Tenure Track system concerns research professor posts advertised by higher education institutes that are CAP 20-25 members. It targets a limited number of posts in the institute's disciplinary areas of excellence, as identified by the project's scientific challenges. It is also aimed at candidates who have completed their doctorate or post-doctorate abroad.
The system is made up of four stages.
– Stage 1: recruitment according to the provisions of Article L. 954-3 for a research professor in a fixed-term contract for three years. This includes selecting and ranking of candidates by a selection committee, followed by approval from the Academic Council of the institute where the post is advertised
– Stage 2: possible two-year renewal after evaluation
– Stage 3: move from a fixed-term contract to an open-ended contract, based on a positive evaluation at the end of the five-year probationary period and in accordance with the same processes and the same regulatory provisions as stage 1
– Stage 4: Possibility of tenure in the post of university professor, which has been reserved since the start of the process, on the condition that the person concerned is qualified to be a university professor.
Renewal criteria and change to open-ended contract.
The evaluation criteria make it possible to give the candidate a scientific standing. The (quantitative and qualitative) evaluation of the candidate's scientific production will be completed using other criteria: commitment to introducing state-of-the-art teaching and training, ability to create and lead innovative projects and contribution to the wider circulation of the research results.
