The areas are catalyzing our research about timely, impactful topics for business and society, such the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (including diversity and sustainability, among others). They also provide resources – in terms of people (i.e., RAs, postdocs, and data scientists) and financial support – to our faculty working around such topics. Thus, while we will consider all high-quality candidates, those with expertise within these domains will be well received.

In addition to the resources available through the Areas of Excellence, we provide a full range of research support, including – among others – an individual annual budget for conferences and other research expenses, experimental behavioral lab, an internal copyeditor, and a unit dedicated to grants development.

The compensation package is consistent with international standards (with the addition of generous bonuses linked to one’s publications). We also support administrative procedures related to settlement in France and assistance in finding accommodation, family integration (school registration for children, help with job search for your partner), French training (for you and your partner), and relocation expenses.

We are looking for high-potential candidates who:

• Hold a Ph.D. from an internationally recognized institution (or are close to completing it)
• Have a publication record (or a strong publication potential) in first-tier top international peer-reviewed journals according to journal rankings such as FNEGE-France, CABS-UK, and FT50
• Are passionate about impactful research and are committed to excellence in its pursuit
• Are eager to diffuse their knowledge in the classroom, empowering our students and executives with new insights to help them navigate a complex and uncertain world
• Can leverage innovative pedagogy to deliver high-quality classes in English (while it is a plus, knowledge of French is not mandatory)
• Are willing to disseminate research and expertise to our external stakeholders, both locally and globally
• Have a proactive and collegial attitude toward their colleagues, their department, and the school
• Look forward to actively participate in developing and implementing the school’s strategy
