Research will be a strong focus of the selected candidate, who is expected to contribute to and inspire the vibrant research community at IESEG through a commitment to research excellence. Applicants should hold a PhD and are required to have (a) a strong publication record in top-tier refereed journals listed in AJG, a solid pipeline of work, and evidence of research impact; (b) good networks in academia; and (c) grant application ability.

In addition, the selected candidate will contribute to the development of the Department's programs. We are therefore looking for candidates with strong teaching skills and substantial higher education teaching experience, who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language.
