“This dissertation examines academic transnational mobility through the experiences of early-career academics moving across borders to take up academic positions at universities abroad. In many countries, early-career transnational mobility has become a normative imperative, a necessary prerequisite to pursue an academic career and secure stable academic employment. At the same time, academic labor markets have become increasingly transnationalized and the number of temporary (and part-time) positions has risen considerably, generating increased competition for permanent positions and contributing to the casualization of academic employment.
This dissertation adopts a gender-constructivist perspective, which maintains that, in their social practices and interactions, individuals (re)produce or transform gender representations that are structurally anchored in their wider social and institutional environment. This gender lens is implemented through a life-story approach and ego-centered social network analysis. This conceptual framework makes it possible to encompass the different domains of life and to investigate how these may interfere with academic transnational mobility. It also allows the ways in which academics\u2019 decisions and practices are embedded in their social networks and wider social environments to be scrutinized. The dissertation draws on biographical and qualitative egocentric network interviews conducted with early-career academics from various national backgrounds at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States. Research participants had obtained their PhD within the last ten years and were holding academic positions at various levels. For those in a relationship, semi-structured interviews were conducted with their partners. Drawing on and combining these different sets of qualitative data, several analyses were conducted, leading to four articles that constitute the core of the dissertation.”<\/p>\n

“Cette th\u00e8se s\u2019int\u00e9resse \u00e0 la mobilit\u00e9 acad\u00e9mique transnationale \u00e0 travers les exp\u00e9riences de chercheur.x.e.s acad\u00e9miques en d\u00e9but de carri\u00e8re qui s\u2019engagent dans des mobilit\u00e9s transnationales en vue d\u2019occuper des postes acad\u00e9miques dans des institutions \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger. Dans de nombreux pays, la mobilit\u00e9 transnationale en d\u00e9but de carri\u00e8re est devenue un imp\u00e9ratif normatif, un pr\u00e9requis n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 carri\u00e8re acad\u00e9mique et \u00e0 l\u2019obtention d\u2019un emploi stable dans le milieu. Dans le m\u00eame temps, le march\u00e9 du travail acad\u00e9mique est devenu de plus en plus transnationalis\u00e9 et le nombre de postes temporaires (et \u00e0 temps partiel) a consid\u00e9rablement augment\u00e9, g\u00e9n\u00e9rant une concurrence accrue pour les postes permanents et contribuant \u00e0 la pr\u00e9carisation des emplois universitaires.
Cette th\u00e8se adopte une perspective constructiviste de genre, qui soutient que, dans leurs pratiques et interactions sociales, les individus (re)produisent ou transforment des repr\u00e9sentations de genre qui sont structurellement ancr\u00e9es dans leur environnement social et institutionnel plus large. Cette perspective de genre est mise en \u0153uvre \u00e0 travers une approche biographique et une analyse des r\u00e9seaux sociaux \u00e9gocentr\u00e9s. Ce cadre conceptuel permet d\u2019englober les diff\u00e9rents domaines de la vie et d\u2019\u00e9tudier comment ceux-ci peuvent interf\u00e9rer avec la mobilit\u00e9 transnationale des jeunes chercheur.x.e.s. Il permet \u00e9galement d\u2019examiner la mani\u00e8re dont les d\u00e9cisions et les pratiques de ces chercheur.x.e.s sont int\u00e9gr\u00e9es dans leurs r\u00e9seaux sociaux et dans leur environnement social plus large.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
