Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Finance

Job Description & Qualification

The Department of Finance at HEC Montréal invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions starting in the academic year 2027/2028. The positions are open rank: applications at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels will be given equal consideration. Candidates are sought in all areas of finance.

• Candidates should hold a doctorate in Finance (or in a related field) or be close to the completion of their doctorate degree.
• At the Assistant Professor level: candidates should be promising scholars with a well-defined research agenda.
• At the Associate or Full Professor level: candidates should have an established record of publications in leading journals, demonstrated research leadership — doctoral supervision, external funding, standing in the profession — and a strong teaching record.
• All successful candidates will be expected to publish research in leading journals and to teach high-quality graduate and undergraduate Finance courses.

The typical teaching load for new assistant professors is 3 courses per year for the first two years. Publications are financially rewarded based on journal ranking.
The main language of instruction at HEC Montréal is French, and some courses and programs are offered in English. Proficiency in English is required to teach courses in this language, to communicate with non-French-speaking students, and to carry out certain research activities. The person must be able to teach and work in French after 2 years in the position. Substantial support will be provided by HEC Montréal to help achieve this objective, in an environment conducive to improving French language skills. It is strongly recommended to mention any prior knowledge of French in your application file.
