In addition to its permanent team, the CRIS is host to:
Associate researchers
The CRIS works regularly with associate researchers from both French and foreign universities and research organizations. Partnership applications are reviewed on a yearly basis. Partnership agreements are granted for 2-year terms and are renewable upon written request. These researchers are active participants in the center's scientific life, are free to use all available resource materials and may request funding for their partnership project (application submitted to a departmental committee). Any published work resulting from research performed as part of these partnerships must make mention of the CRIS' involvement.
Visiting researchers
The CRIS regularly welcomes visiting researchers from other countries for research stays as part of Science Po's international exchange programs.
Post-doctoral students
The CRIS hosts French and foreign post-doctoral students who have already received funding (Marie Curie Actions research fellowships, CNRS, scholarships from international organizations, etc.).
Doctoral students
The Centre for Research on social InequalitieS is one of the host centers for Science Po's Doctoral Program in Sociology.
It is renowned for its commitment to research training and has been pursuing the same goal for 20 years: to train top-notch sociologists capable of analyzing transformations in contemporary societies.
The web site of the Sciences Po Doctoral School provides information about the conditions for admission into the PhD program and the calendar. Applicants must have funding in order to be accepted. Possibilities for funding are described on this page.
Interns
Depending on its needs and available workspace, the CRIS offers internships to undergraduate students and those working toward a Masters in sociology, either as research assistants or as part of the administration team.
