Experience in computational optimization and proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, C/C++, Java, Julia) is required. Ideal profiles combine innovation spirit, technical depth, and a strong interest in linking theory and practice through applications.
The applicant should be able to teach in English in various ESSEC Business School Programs (at bachelor, master or PhD level).
