Faculty Position in Marketing
(Assistant Professor – Research Track)
ESADE is seeking to appoint a research-track faculty member in the field of marketing. Applications are open to any areas of specialization, regardless of whether they are CB, quant, multi-method etc. The successful candidate will join the school at its Sant Cugat (Barcelona) campus no later than September 2025.
Candidates must have completed a PhD or equivalent program of study by the start date. They must also demonstrate a trajectory of scholarship in the area of specialization, and the motivation and potential to publish high quality, impactful research in the leading academic journals of the discipline. Finally, the candidate must exhibit a foundation upon which a successful teaching career across the school’s diverse portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and executive education programs can be developed.
The marketing unit at ESADE is a growing and dynamic group focused on tackling issues that concern the relationships of organizations with their customers. Under this general motivation, our research spans different substantive and methodological orientations, placing as much importance on the underlying question as it does on rigor. Indeed, the marketing unit is launching an Institute for the Study of MarkTech, Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, which will serve as a platform for collaborations between business, government, and the faculty.
From the standpoint of teaching, the department enjoys a solid reputation in the school: we constantly strive to improve the classroom experience and translate our research to ideas and advice that is of practical use to (future) managers, public policy makers or consumer groups. This effort is aided by the school’s Centre for Educational Innovation. Knowledge of applications of AI to marketing, R and Python to potentially be shared in the classroom will be valued.
