Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate (BBA), graduate (Programme Grande École), and master's level programs. Most courses will be taught on the Lyon campus, with possible sessions on other emlyon campuses in France or internationally.

Fluency and teaching experience in English is required. French skills are not required but would be a plus.

The selected candidate is expected to be based in Lyon or nearby area. emlyon has set-up a relocation policy to support the moving process.
