1 PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE (SENIOR OR PRINCIPAL) IN SUSTAINABILITY (PARIS CAMPUS)

In response to its continuous growth, IÉSEG School of Management is looking for a part-time Professor of Practice in Sustainability at the Senior or Principal Professor level (Paris Campus, starting September 2027). He/She/They will be a part of the Department of “Management & Society”.

IÉSEG holds the “triple crown” of international accreditations (AACSB, AMBA & EQUIS) and is a member of the “Conférence des Grandes Écoles”. The School offers Bachelor, Master and Post-Graduate Degrees as well as Executive Education programs. IÉSEG is also one of the leading French business schools in terms of research. The IÉSEG Research Center is accredited by the French CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research). Our Lille Campus is in the heart of Northern France (within the triangle made up by London, Paris and Brussels), and our Paris Campus is located in the biggest European business district of “La Défense”. More information on the school can be found here: www.ieseg.fr/en .

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The “Management & Society” department consists of over 30 full-time academic staff in the areas of Business and Society, Organization Studies and Strategic Management. The department explicitly welcomes cross-disciplinary research efforts needed to address the challenges currently faced by both for-profit and non-profit organizations, their stakeholders and the communities in which they operate.

Teaching will be the main focus of the selected candidate, who will deliver courses in sustainability at the undergraduate, graduate and/or postgraduate levels. The selected candidate will also contribute to the development of the Department's programs. We are therefore looking for candidates with strong teaching skills and fluency in English, as most courses are taught in this language. Knowledge of French is an asset but is not required.

Professional experience is required in the area of sustainability, as we are particularly looking for candidates who can contribute to the school’s development and its students through their professional experience.

Relevant experience may include corporate sustainability management, sustainability consulting, sustainable business transformation, environmental and social impact management, or sustainability-related work in public institutions and non-governmental organizations.

Finally, we are looking for candidates who embody our core values of Accomplishment, Responsibility, Integrity, Solidarity, and Engagement, and fit our diverse and international culture in which over 50 nationalities are represented. IÉSEG places tremendous value on diversity and inclusion, and we therefore encourage applications from all backgrounds. Underrepresented 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.

At IÉSEG, we are committed to providing a supportive and engaging work environment. To new faculty members (and their partner), we offer a wide range of resources to help them integrate into the country, culture and school, such as individualized French language courses (for faculty members and their partner), a relocation allowance, and housing search assistance. Moreover, all faculty members have access to a competitive salary, as well as benefits such as French social security, a complementary health insurance, meal vouchers a profit-sharing plan, and a contributory pension scheme.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS DECEMBER 3, 2026. AFTER THIS DEADLINE, APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED TO CONTACT SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES AND ORGANIZE INTERVIEWS IN JANUARY-MARCH 2027.
