Assistant / Associate Professor in Organisation

Assistant/ Associate Professor in Organisation

Paris

The Management Department is hiring an Assistant / Associate Professor (tenure track) based on our Paris campus, starting September 2026. 

The Role

The ideal candidate is expected to demonstrate: 

• A strong research orientation. Publications in leading international journals (including FT listed journals). Articles in high-quality national and European journals will also be greatly valued. Candidates who have not yet published in international journals, but plan to do so, will also be valued. The publication trajectory should reflect both academic excellence and a capacity to generate significant impact within local and European economic spheres. Active involvement in dissemination and outreach activities (e.g., conferences, interviews, media contributions); prior visibility in the media would be strongly valued.
• Proven pedagogical competencies or clear potential, encompassing teaching excellence and curriculum innovation for diverse audiences (including degree, executive, and lifelong learning programs). Experience in the design and management of educational programs would be a plus.
• Excellent command of English (our operational language). French is highly advantageous on a daily basis (i.e. for teaching activity) as this role will be Paris-based.
• A solid grounding in the social sciences, consistent with ESCP’s intellectual tradition. This underpins the School’s identity and visibility in academic and public arenas.
