Abstract

Access of young PhDs to scientific position is a recurrent concern in recent empirical works. The issue of spatial mobility of researchers is also often discussed, but rarely both simultaneously. We propose a joint analysis of the determinants of occupational and geographical PhDs paths by using three Céreq generation surveys (2001, 2004, 2007). Descriptive statistics and estimation of a bivariate probit highlight the strengthening of PhDs geographical mobility, and the growing importance of publications for access to academic employment.
