Gérôme Truc is a CNRS research fellow at the Institut des Sciences sociales du Politiques (CNRS / Université Paris Nanterre / ENS Paris-Saclay). A graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure with a degree in economics and social sciences and a doctorate in sociology from EHESS, he was a member of the Casa de Velazquez in Madrid from 2009 to 2011.
