Information concerning the application to become an associate professor in the nursing sciences section of the French Conseil national des universités des disciplines de santé (National Council of Universities for Health Disciplines)

Abstract

In 2019, the nursing sciences section of the Conseil national des universités des disciplines de santé was created. One of its missions is to evaluate the applications of candidates wishing to qualify as university professors and associate professors. Qualification authorizes the applicant to apply a competitive examination for the position of university professor or assistant professor at a French university offering a position. The members of the section must assess whether the requirements in terms of research, teaching, and expertise have been met by the candidate so that they can sit the competitive examination. As a result, there are a number of requirements, which it is useful to reiterate in order to enhance the quality of future applications. Only those requirements relating to qualification as a associate professor will be covered here.
