Description

Due to its strong growth, Rennes School of Business (Rennes SB) has multiple permanent faculty positions open at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor level in the areas of Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, HRM, Information Systems, Innovation, Marketing, Organizational Behavior, Organization Theory, Strategy, Supply Chain Management, and International Business.

Start date is Sept 2022. Appointments will be made at the rank consistent with research, teaching records and the number of years of experience at a comparable institution.

Our focus is on producing high-quality research that is impactful both for the academic and the practitioner communities.  Although all quality research is encouraged and welcome, our research is mainly organized around four main Areas of Excellence: Agribusiness, AI-driven Business, Green, Digital, & Demand-Driven Supply Chain Management, and Managing Complexity, hosted in our Research.Lab (more information is available here: https://www.rennes-sb.com/research-lab/). The School offers very generous and innovative research incentives for people successfully engaging in research activities.

Our salaries are competitive and will be commensurate with prior performance and experience. Our incentives – including generous publication bonuses – are highly competitive. We also provide assistance in relocation and housing search, French language courses, French social security benefits, complementary health insurance, and a complementary pension scheme. 

Rennes SB is a fast growing institution providing undergraduate and graduate education to more than 4,500 students from all over the world. A triple accredited institution (AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA), Rennes SB is the most international business school in France and one of the most multicultural of its kind, with 100 faculty members who are 95% international (i.e., non-French) and come from 40 different countries.  Our student body consists of 53% international students coming from more than 70 countries, making it the perfect job environment for international faculty.

Our Program Portfolio includes a full range of international programs: PhD, DBA, EMBA, specialized Masters, Programme Grande Ecole (PGE) and Bachelor’s Degree.  English is the main working and teaching language at the School, as the vast majority of programs are taught entirely in English.

Rennes SB is located in Western France, one hour and 25 minutes from the center of Paris by train, and less than one hour from the coast. The capital of Brittany, Rennes has a strong economy and is recognized for its outstanding quality of life and cultural environment with a wide range of private and public amenities including excellent primary and secondary schools.
