ABOUT THE POSITION

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of excellence in teaching and research. The selected candidate will contribute to the vibrant research community at IESEG through their research, teaching, the design and development of the school’s programs, as well as participation in the School’s service. He/she/they is therefore expected to hold a PhD in Information Systems or a related field, have a publication record in highly ranked peer-reviewed journals, and conduct and publish high-quality research.

In terms of teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to deliver high-quality teaching at the undergraduate, and/or graduate levels in our flagship Grande Ecole program as well as in the Master of Cybersecurity Management program. In addition to the typical information systems courses, the candidate shall be able to teach technical courses such as Operating Systems Foundations, Infrastructure Foundations, Penetration Testing, or Digital Forensics and Incident Response. The ability to teach in French in our Executive programs is a plus. Expertise in AI will be considered a very strong plus.

In addition, he/she/they will contribute to the development of the Department’s programs and assume academic responsibilities. As such, we are looking for candidates who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language. Professional experience and knowledge of French are a plus, but not a requirement.

The candidate will be expected to actively participate in the life of the department, including by mentoring junior colleagues, as well as advising and mentoring students at all levels, in addition to participating in departmental and university service activities (such as the coordination of minor, programs, etc.).

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.
