Abstract

This paper deals with the relation between the geography of academic careers and those of collaborations, from a case study of a French mathematics laboratory. The analysis of CVs, publications and interviews with ten full professors allows questioning jointly the progress of academic careers and the collaborative practices of scientific activity through co-authorship. The scientific community of mathematics has specific norms and conventions at the both levels of mobility practice and collaboration behavior. The collective decision to ban tacitly local recruitment generates a high level of mobility in mathematicians? careers. Furthermore, the publication rhythm and the weight of collaborations are very heterogeneous, and their geography does not seem to depend on the geographical trajectories of professors. A qualitative focus on the most productive professor shows the very low influence of his affiliation and of his permanent location on his research.
