About The Management & Society Department

The department of “Management & Society” consists of 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.

About The Position

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 terms of teaching, the selected candidate will teach courses in Strategy at the undergraduate, graduate and/or postgraduate levels. In addition, the selected candidate will contribute to the development of the Department's programs. We are therefore looking for candidates who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language.

Although not required, active working knowledge of French is considered an asset. For this position, the ability and willingness to interact with managers and the local (and international) ecosystems are indeed valued.

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.
