ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The department of “Finance” consists of around 40 members who teach and perform research in the areas of Financial Markets, Banking or Corporate Finance. An overview of our diverse group of professors can be found here: Finance Department
ABOUT THE POSITION
The positions include both a research and teaching mission. The balance between both will be adjusted to the selected candidate’s profile.
Through research, the selected candidate will contribute to the vibrant research community at IESEG. He/she/they is therefore expected to hold a PhD, have a strong publication record (or potential for Assistant Professors) in top-tier refereed journals listed in AJG, as well as a good international network.
In terms of teaching, the selected candidate will teach courses in Finance, with a special focus on machine learning/artificial intelligence, data analytics, banking or quantitative methods at the undergraduate, graduate and/or postgraduate level. In addition, he/she/they will contribute to the development of the Department’s programs. As such, we are looking for candidates with strong pedagogical skills, and 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.
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.
