Assistant or Associate Professor in Management Accounting & Control, London Campus

The Performance Measurement & Management (PMM) Department at ESCP Business School invites applications for the position of Assistant or Associate Professor in Management Accounting & Control, to join our London campus, with an anticipated start date of January 2027.

This position supports a balanced development of research and teaching. Faculty are expected to contribute to the school’s academic life, including academic directorship roles over time. The school provides a competitive annual research budget, complemented by additional internal funding, to support high-quality, internationally competitive research.

The PMM Department comprises 13 full-time faculty members specialising in performance measurement and management across organisations and society. Our research adopts organisational and sociological perspectives to critically examine management control practices across private, public, and alternative organisational settings (e.g., NGOs, cooperatives). We embrace methodological pluralism and focus on topics such as:

• Performance measurement across financial, operational, sustainability, and social dimensions,
• Management control systems (e.g., KPIs, incentives, dashboards) and supporting digital technologies (e.g., AI, ERPs),
• The societal and organisational implications of performance quantification.

Teaching approaches that are case-based, research-based and project-based are highly valued, as they encourage reflexivity. We teach management accounting and control tools, as well as the ability to critically reflect on them (question their design, use, and effects). Since the notion of ‘best practices’ can itself be questioned, we aim to open the black box of performance measures to reveal their inner workings, underlying assumptions, biases and potential implications. We believe that this approach is important for generating more sustainable management practices.

Applications should include

• Cover letter
• Curriculum vitae
• Research and teaching statement
• Research samples
• Two reference letters

Questions can be addressed to the PMM Department coordinators,

Professor Olivier Saulpic (osaulpic@escp.eu) and Associate Professor Leona Wiegmann (lwiegmann@escp.eu).
