Assistant or Associate Professor position in Management Accounting & Control, Turin campus

ESCP Business School

The Performance Measurement & Management Department at ESCP Business School (www.escp.eu) invites
applicants for one position as Assistant or Associate Professor in Management Accounting & Control, to take
up appointment on the Turin campus from January or September 2026 on.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent Doctoral degree in management; have excellent teaching, research
and publication skills and must be able to teach in English to international audiences. A preference will be given
to applicants with an international profile and a proven experience in the study and teaching of management
accounting practices. Some degree of fluency in Italian and/or French will be valued.

The  PMM  Department  is  composed  of  12  full-time  faculty  specializing  in  Performance  Measurement  &
Management  in  organizations  and  society.  Our  team  believes  in  a  critical  approach  to  performance
management to challenge, understand and improve, sometimes ‘taken-for-granted’, practices. In our research
we use organizational and sociological approaches to study performance measurement practices and control
processes in private and public sectors and alternative forms of organizations (NGO, cooperatives, etc.). We
are open to a plurality of methods and cover topics like:

management control systems (KPIs, dashboards, responsibility centres, incentives, social control, etc.)

measuring  various  types  of  performance  (financial,  operational,  sustainability,  ethical  performance,

•
impact, etc.),
•
and digital technologies that support them (AI, ERPs, etc.),
•
tracking devices, ratings & rankings, impact measurement on social media etc.)

types of  individuals  and  society  created  by quantification of  performance  in every life  domains  (self-

We  publish  our  research  in  leading  academic  journals  including  Accounting,  Organizations  and  Society;
Contemporary  Accounting  Research;  Critical  Perspectives
in  Accounting;  Comptabilité  Contrôle
Audit/Accounting  Auditing  Control;  European  Accounting  Review;  Management  Accounting  Research;
Organization; Organization Studies; Journal of Management Studies, among others.

We value case-based, research-based, project-based teaching approaches to raise reflexivity. We teach the
management accounting & control tools but also skills to be reflexive about them (question their design, use,
effects).  Since  the  very  notion  of  best  practices  can  be  questioned,  we  aim  to  open  the  black  box  of
performance  measures  to  unveil  their  inner  workings,  underlying  assumptions  and  biases  and  potential
implications. We believe that this approach is important to generate more sustainable management practices.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research & pedagogical statement, sample copies of
their  research  and  two  letters  of  reference  to  Professor  Claire  Dambrin  and  Professor  Olivier  Saulpic,
coordinators of the PMM Department, at pmm.recruitment@escp.eu , indicating "PMM Turin position" in the
subject of the email. Applications  will  be  reviewed  on  a  rolling  basis. The  position will remain open  until a
suitable candidate is found.
