AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITY
INSTITUTE ON CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIONS OF AIX-MARSEILLE (InCIAM)
Call for applications
for three postdoctoral contracts by the Institute on Creativity and Innovations of Aix-Marseille (InCIAM)
(2022-2023)
These postdoctoral contracts are for a fixed term, for a period of one year. The laureates will have to start their research at the beginning of their contract, on September 1st, 2023.
The amount of the postdoctoral contract is € 2468.40 gross per month according to the gross index 608.
The response deadline is May 15th, 2023.
Worldwide applications are highly recommended. Candidates who have defended their thesis at AMU (including in the framework of a co-supervision with a foreign university) must have an international background, attested by research activities during at least one year in a foreign structure.
Research Organization
The research projects presented must be part of the InCIAM's themes (see Appendix A for a description). They will contribute to the understanding of the dynamics, factors and conditions that influence creative and innovation processes and / or the development of creative productions and innovations adapted to individuals and organizations.
They will have to fall under one or more of the thematic axes and fields of application developed in the institute, namely:
1. Creative and Innovation Processes
1.1. Epistemology and genetics of creative productions
1.2. Understanding and assisting creative and innovation processes
1.3. Analysis and support for creative and cultural industries
2. Development of innovations
2.1. Health
2.2. Education
2.3. Work
Successful postdoctoral researchers will be expected to develop multidisciplinary research activities. They will therefore be jointly hosted in two research units under the responsibility of InCIAM (with a main hosting unit and a secondary unit – see Annex B) and will have to produce publications and communications involving the two units. They will devote themselves primarily to research projects that will be defined in agreement with researchers or teacher-researchers belonging to the Institute. In addition, they will be entrusted with complementary missions within the framework of collective actions implemented by InCIAM. For example, they may be involved in the development or coordination of the implementation of the Institute's research areas or in the setting up of training activities intended, in particular, for students, doctoral students and/or teacher-researchers or researchers working for InCIAM.

ANNEX A
Presentation of InCIAM
The Institute Creativity and Innovations of Aix-Marseille (InCIAM) is an Institute of Establishment under article 38 of the statutes of Aix-Marseille University.
The "Institutes" bring together research teams from one or more units and master's or DESU / DU / CU programs, which are part of one or more components, and at the doctoral level to create a strong link around them. a shared theme, between education and research.
These Institutes are intended to promote and bring out interdisciplinary practices through new inter-unit and inter-component collaborations.
Their objectives are to train new generations of scientists, to increase the visibility and attractiveness of the Aix-Marseille site to students, teachers-researchers and researchers at the national and international levels and to assert its potential with socio-economic partners.
Project summary
Achieved alone or collectively, creativity - and the possible innovations that result from it - is an experiential and intellectual activity, taking place in individual or collective situations, whose societal repercussions are considerable or even major. From scientific discoveries to cultural creations to all the transformations of the everyday life of individuals (for example, communication methods, design and arts, fun activities, means of transport, health maintenance techniques), creativity is crucial for adaptation of the human being to his environment and, conversely, to the adaptation of the environment to the expectations and needs of the human being. It is often essential for the improvement of the living conditions and even the pleasure to live of the latter.
This Institute, focused on creativity and innovation, conducts research and training activities on these themes, whether learning to carry out creative activities in learning institutions and / or mobilizing creative skills in order to implement them as effectively as possible in work or health contexts, or in various technological and / or artistic contexts.
This Institute contributes to support an issue of scientific but also social progress. Creativity specialists collaborate with innovation specialists as well as specialists in the areas of application considered. These collaborations make it possible to understand a process starting from the emergence of ideas (with the aim of identifying the conditions that favor creativity) and continuing until the development and marketing of innovations. The fields of expertise of the members of the institute are thus combined and enriched because of the multidisciplinary approach developed.
Understanding the mechanisms and factors involved in creativity and innovation has tangible benefits in terms of methods and tools for helping creativity and methods of managing innovation. The knowledge resulting from this work is intended to be used to support the implementation of integrative approaches to creativity and innovation, leading to the development and implementation of innovations in the fields of health, education or work.
