Habilitation (HDR), Université Grenoble Alpes, France
The French Habilitation requires consistent research from 4 to 10 years after appointment as an Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences), a substantial amount of significant publications, the supervision of at least one PhD student from start to graduation, a successful track record securing extramural funding as a principal investigator, and a 5-year research plan. Postdoctoral researchers who are not yet appointed to a university can obtain the Habilitation if they meet the requirements. The Habilitation committee is constituted by a majority of external referees. Assistant Professors (Maîtres de Conférences) with an Habilitation can apply for Full Professor positions (Professeur des Universités). Therefore, the Habilitation is similar to the promotion to Associate Professor in North America.
