ABOUT THE POSITION

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.
