    OPEN-RANK FACULTY POSITION IN THE STRATEGY AND BUSINESS POLICY DEPARTMENT
    AT HEC PARIS (FRANCE)

    In anticipation of possible hiring, the Strategy and Business Policy Department at HEC Paris invites applications for an open-rank faculty position. The start date is Fall 2023. Compensation, research funding, and travel support are highly competitive, and similar to those at leading business schools in North America and Western Europe. We are seeking candidates with doctoral training and a strong research orientation in Strategy, Entrepreneurship, Organization Theory, Economic Sociology, and related subfields. All applicants must have a PhD degree (or be close to completion). Knowledge of French is not required or expected. The official application deadline will be during the Fall 2022 (TBA).

    We will conduct a limited number of informal individual meetings at the 2022 AoM Conference. These meetings are not a prerequisite for an official application in the Fall 2022, and non-selection for an AoM meeting will not impact full consideration of an official application. Applicants interested in an AoM meeting, should email the Hiring Committee by July 17 at strategy-application@hec.fr with:

    • A brief cover letter describing the interest in the position and relevant qualifications
    • A curriculum vitae
    • The names, email addresses, and phone numbers of three references
