The College of Management of Technology (CDM) at EPFL invites applications for a faculty position in the area of Strategy and Technology Management. The appointment will be at the Tenure Track level, with an expected start date of summer 2025 (or mutually agreed upon).

We are searching for applicants who are committed to excellence in research. Successful candidates have a PhD (or are about to obtain a PhD) in management, business administration, economics or a related field. They may have qualitative or quantitative research backgrounds and a clear research focus on applications of management to important societal questions and in priority areas for EPFL. These include (but are not limited to) climate and sustainability, artificial intelligence, life sciences, or cybersecurity.
Scholars addressing topics linked to technology strategy, management of innovation, or technological innovation in general are particularly encouraged to apply.

The candidate will be expected to develop an independent and competitive research program in a multidisciplinary environment. The faculty member will supervise own PhD students and engage with researchers in related fields across the EPFL campus, particularly within CDM, and from neighboring Leman area institutes via the E4S initiative. The successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and contribute to CDM’s education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The EPFL environment is multilingual and multicultural. EPFL offers internationally competitive salaries, generous research support, significant start-up resources and an outstanding research infrastructure. CDM is embedded into an academic cluster of management research, with close proximity to HEC Lausanne and IMD. It has a strong track record in research and currently serves as the home to the editorship of the Academy of Management Journal.
