ABOUT THE OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT

The Operations Management department consists of over 20+ full‑time academic staff and 3 PhD students. Our staff teach and conduct research in the areas of Operations and Production Management, Supply Chain Management and Logistics, Green and Sustainable Supply Chain Management, Healthcare Management, Project Management, Product Development and Revenue Management. The School provides ample resources to support a variety of research interests and activities. The School maintains an excellent network with overseas institutions for collaborative work.

Over the last few years, faculty members have been successful in publishing their research papers in top‑tier refereed international journals such as (amongst others): European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Production Economics, International Journal of Production Research, Omega, and IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management.

ABOUT THE POSITION

The position includes both a research and teaching mission. The balance between both will be adjusted to the selected candidate’s profile.

Through research, the selected candidate will contribute to the vibrant research community at IÉSEG. He/she/they is therefore expected to hold a PhD, have a strong publication record (or potential for Assistant Professors) in top‑tier refereed journals listed in AJG, as well as a good international network. He/she/they are expected to contribute to the department’s ongoing projects and initiatives.

In terms of teaching, the selected candidate will teach courses in supply chain management/operations management at the undergraduate, graduate and/or postgraduate level. In addition, he/she/they will contribute to the development of the Department’s programs. As such, we are looking for candidates with strong pedagogical skills, and who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language. Professional experience and knowledge of French are a plus, but not a requirement.

IÉSEG places tremendous value on diversity and inclusion, and we therefore encourage applications from all backgrounds. Under‑represented groups in academia (notably women, minority ethnic groups, people identifying as LGBTQIA+, people with a (non‑)visible disability, and people from lower socio‑economic backgrounds and/or economically developing countries) are particularly encouraged to apply, as we are highly committed to ensuring that IÉSEG reflects and benefits from the diversity present in society.

For any further question, please contact us by e‑mail at [e-mail]. Applications received by e‑mail will not be reviewed.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS JANUARY 5, 2026. AFTER THIS DEADLINE, APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED TO CONTACT SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES AND ORGANIZE INTERVIEWS IN FEBRUARY‑APRIL 2025.
