An overview of our diverse group of professors can be found here: Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Information Systems Department

ABOUT THE POSITION

Teaching will be the main focus of the selected candidate by delivering high-quality teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level in the area of Innovation. He/she/they is expected to actively contribute to the design and development of the school’s programs, as well as participate in school service. The candidate should have strong teaching skills and experience in MBA and executive teaching.

As such, we are looking for candidates who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language. Knowledge of French is a plus, but not a requirement.

In terms of research, the selected candidate will contribute to IÉSEG’s vibrant research community through their research. He/she/they is therefore expected to hold a PhD in Innovation or a related discipline and have the ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals.

For an appointment at the Associate/Full Professor level applicants are required to have (a) extensive higher education teaching experience; (b) a strong publication record in international refereed journals; and (c) good networks in academia and/or professional circles at regional and international levels.

Professional experience and good knowledge of the industry are a plus.

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.
