Summary
Antoine Machut is a Maître de conférences in Paris specializing in media sociology, sociology of professions, and digital sociology, with five years of postdoctoral and research experience across CNRS, Sciences Po médialab, and Université Grenoble Alpes. He combines quantitative analysis of large survey and digital trace data with sequence analysis in R and advanced ggplot visualization to study career trajectories, journalism labor markets, and the social impacts of crises like the COVID lockdowns. His work reconstitutes thousands of professional careers from LinkedIn traces and manages complex panel surveys, demonstrating both methodological rigor and practical data stewardship. Antoine has helped build and document major collaborative datasets (VICO, FlexMediaLives, ProVirCap) and co-developed ANR project proposals, signaling a knack for turning fieldwork and computational methods into funded, reproducible research. An unexpected strength is his journalistic background, which informs a keen sensitivity to media framing and narrative alongside his technical fluency in digital social science methods.
