French term or phrase: devenir des docteurs

This is a heading in a list of PhD students. Preceeding titles are '
Supervision of theses
Theses supported
Theses with viva planned in 2011
Current theses

Each heading is followed by a list of names (presumably students).

Logic tells me that 'Devenir des docteurs' should be something like 'Doctorates to be awarded- but I wondered if there was a specific phrase.

Thank you

Doctoral Candidates

Explanation:
From your description, this is the title to a list of students who are aspiring to receive Doctoral Degrees. Since this degree has not yet been awarded they may be considered as "candidates" for that title.

placements

Explanation:
Or "doctoral placements." That is, positions held after the doctoral degree was awarded.

My answer runs counter to your thinking (and all the answers so far), so I've only given it medium confidence, but still I wonder...

Here are some references:

Devenir des docteurs
– en poste dans l'enseignement supérieur et la recherche
– en poste dans l'enseignement secondaire
– autre emploi
– absence d'informations

DEVENIR DES DOCTEURS A L'ISSUE DE LEUR THESE
(Enquête portant sur 190 docteurs de l’EDSM)
– 112 docteurs ont un emploi stable [...]
– 59 docteurs sont en CDD [...]
– 19 diplômés sont en recherche d’emploi ou n’ont pas souhaité répondre à notre enquête
http://www-iuem.univ-brest.fr/enseignement/lecole-doctorale

Here's a list entitled "DEVENIR DES DOCTORANTS DU LISA (1995-2010)" [Laboratoire Interuniversitaire des Systèmes Atmosphériques]:
http://www.lisa.univ-paris12.fr/images/stories/ENSEIGNEMENT/...

Similarly, the Université de Paris-Sorbonne tracks the devenir for several degree levels; see LE DEVENIR DES DIPLÔMÉS
http://www.paris-sorbonne.fr/nos-formations/orientation-inse...

So do some professional/educational organizations:
Après le doctorat
L’ED suit le devenir des docteurs : insertion professionnelle, statistiques, annuaire des diplômés.
http://www.docteurs-chimie.org/fr/ecoles-doctorales/formatio...

The following reference is not for the purpose of offering a translation (the context is different), but is offered as a reference to the time after the doctorate is awarded:
Ces principes sont sous-tendus par une philosophie et une organisation adéquate, en particulier dans la préoccupation du devenir des docteurs.
http://www.rp2e.inpl-nancy.fr/index.php?id=10
A defined philosophy and well-adapted organizational structure form the basis for these educational principles, especially in the particular interest given to doctors’ futures.

Or perhaps even better: placement of doctoral graduates.
Some English-language references follow.

University of Toronto:
Doctoral Student Placement in the Humanities
Performance Relevance:
Since most humanities doctoral students plan to pursue a career in academia, the placement of a department’s doctoral graduates is an important measure of its quality of the graduate program. [...]

Oops, all my references were for "placement of doctoral graduates." :o

If you like the other term, you can google "doctoral graduate placements." Seek and ye shall find. ;-)
