He previously served as Vice-Rector of the University of Geneva, Co-Director of the National Center for Research LIVES (Overcoming Vulnerability. Life Course Perspectives), and Director of the Interfaculty Center for Gerontology and Vulnerability Studies. His work bridges historical demography, sociology, and gerontology, focusing on the intersections between individual life trajectories and broader social structures. Oris's research centers on the living conditions of older people, vulnerability across the life course, and the sociohistorical construction of social and economic reserves. His work spans historical demography examining mortality patterns in 19th-20th century Europe, contemporary studies of aging populations, and cross-national comparisons of vulnerability processes. He has made significant contributions to understanding how social structures shape individual life trajectories and how these trajectories accumulate advantages or disadvantages over time. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong interdisciplinary approach combining historical methods with contemporary social science. His work spans demographic history (particularly on mortality patterns in Madrid and Geneva), contemporary gerontology (focusing on cognitive aging and social reserves), and cross-national comparative studies of vulnerability. The consistent thread across his work is examining how social structures interact with individual life courses to create patterns of inequality, particularly in later life. Oris has been deeply involved in major research initiatives, most notably as Co-Director of the National Center for Research LIVES, which focuses on overcoming vulnerability through life course perspectives. His work has contributed significantly to methodological approaches in life course research, particularly through the development of the Geneva Urban Sociodemographic Database.
