ABOUT THE POSITION

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of excellence in teaching. Active contribution to the design and development of the school’s programs is expected, as well as participation in the School’s service. He/she/they is therefore expected to hold a PhD in Information Systems or a related field for a full-time position, with extensive experience and a network in the European cybersecurity ecosystem. Current and continuing engagement as a practitioner is expected of part-time faculty. The position does not have a research mission, however research, in particular via case studies, is encouraged.

In terms of teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to deliver high-quality teaching at the undergraduate, and/or graduate levels in our flagship Grande Ecole program as well as in the Master of Cybersecurity Management program. In addition to the typical information systems courses, the candidate shall be able to teach technical courses such as Operating Systems Foundations, Infrastructure Foundations, Penetration Testing, or Digital Forensics and Incident Response. The ability to teach in French in our Executive programs is a plus. Expertise in AI will be considered a very strong plus.

In addition, he/she/they will contribute to the development of the Department’s programs and assume academic responsibilities. As such, we are looking for candidates 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.

The candidate will be expected to actively participate in the life of the department, including by mentoring junior colleagues, as well as advising and mentoring students at all levels, in addition to participating in departmental and university service activities (such as the coordination of minor, programs, etc.)

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.
