ABOUT THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

The department of “Accounting” consists of 25+ members in the areas of Financial Accounting, Taxation and Management Control and faculty are represented on both campuses. Faculty members specializing in Management Accounting and Control have been successful in publishing their research papers in top-tier refereed international journals in areas of (amongst others): management accounting and control systems; sustainability control packages; the dynamics of audit committee practices; governance and financial reporting ethics.

The school provides ample resources to support research and has a comparative advantage in promoting cross-disciplinary research that is quintessential for the modern business world. The school is supportive for conducting an innovative research agenda that is relevant for both theoretical substance as well as practical business insights. IESEG has built an excellent network with overseas institutions for collaborative work and exchanges.

ABOUT THE POSITION
The position includes both a research and teaching mission. The balance between both will be adjusted to the selected candidate’s profile.

Research will be a strong focus of the selected candidate as he/she/they will contribute to the vibrant research community at IESEG through their commitment to research excellence. 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 Management Accounting and Control 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.
