ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The department of "International Negotiation and Conflict Management" consists of 20 permanent academic staff who teach and perform research in the areas of Negotiation, Law, Conflict Management, among others. An overview of our diverse group of professors can be found here: International Negotiation and Conflict Management

ABOUT THE POSITION

Teaching will be the main focus of the selected candidate by teaching courses in Company law, Torts, Contract law, and Property law 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 teaching skills, and who are fluent in English, as most courses are taught in this language. Knowledge of French is a plus, but not a requirement.

We also expect evidence of a good linkage to the corporate world, in particular via the practice of a professional activity, including freelance. The position does not have a research mission, however, research, in particular via case-studies, is encouraged.

Applicants should hold a PhD, JD, DBA, or equivalent degree and maintain a relevant professional experience in the corporate environment. For the full-time position, applicants should hold a PhD (or be close to obtaining it).

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.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS FEBRUARY 1, 2026. AFTER THIS DEADLINE, APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED TO CONTACT SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES AND ORGANIZE INTERVIEWS IN FEBRUARY-APRIL 2026
