Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Positions in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability

About the positions

Thanks to our strong and continuous growth, at NEOMA Business School, the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship is seeking to hire multiple full-time, permanent faculty in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability. The Strategy & Entrepreneurship Department is composed of 39 faculty members with a strong research orientation in Strategy, International Business, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Sustainability. Our professors have published in top-tier journals, including Strategic Management Journal, Research Policy, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, Organization Studies, Journal of Business Ethics, Business and Society, among other top-tier journals.

For more information about The Strategy & Entrepreneurship Department, please check us out at https://neoma-bs.com/departements/strategy-entrepreneurship.

This is a fantastic time for you to join our school and our multidisciplinary research areas: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science and Business, The World We Want, The Future of Work and Complexity Advantage (the Areas of Excellence - see https://neoma-bs.com/faculty-and-research/research/centres-of-expertise-chairs-institutes). 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.

About the candidates

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

If you are looking to push the frontiers of knowledge in your discipline and are committed to sharing this knowledge with our stakeholders, you will find NEOMA Business School an ideal place to advance your career. We aim to create the best possible environment for you to excel in your research and, more globally, in your academic career.
