Start date is Sept 2019, but an earlier start could be negotiated.  Appointments will be made at the rank consistent with research and teaching records.  Candidates with high research potential will be considered for the Assistant position level.

    In addition to research, we highly value quality teaching, especially contributions to excellence and innovation in pedagogy (including e-learning). Service to the development of the school as well as to the practitioner and academic communities are also important elements of what we are looking for in our future faculty members.

     

    Our salaries are competitive and will be commensurate with prior performance and experience. Our incentives - including generous publication bonuses – are highly competitive. We also provide assistance in relocation and housing search, French language courses, French social security benefits, complementary health insurance, and a complementary pension scheme.
