The College of Management of Technology (CDM) at EPFL invites applications for two faculty positions in Finance. Appointments will be at the Tenure Track Assistant or (Tenured) Associate Professor level, with an expected start date in September 2027 (or mutually agreed upon).
We seek candidates with outstanding research potential or achievement. Successful candidates must have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and contribute to CDM’s education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Finance, Economics, or a related discipline, and demonstrate a strong research record. Candidates for tenured positions should have an established record of publishing in top-tier journals. We welcome applications from candidates in all areas of finance. In filling one of the two positions, we are particularly interested in candidates working in venture capital, entrepreneurial finance, or private markets.
EPFL ranks among the world’s leading universities and offers internationally competitive salaries, generous research support, significant start-up resources, and outstanding research infrastructure. The successful candidates will join an internationally oriented and research-active faculty and will benefit from opportunities for collaboration across EPFL. They will also benefit from EPFL’s partnership with the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI), a private foundation that supports research and teaching in finance in Switzerland. The school provides access to extensive databases, and funding for additional database purchases and computing equipment is readily available.
EPFL is located in Lausanne, Switzerland, a beautiful and vibrant city in an Alpine setting on the shores of Lake Geneva, in the heart of Europe. Switzerland offers an exceptionally high standard of living. We offer a highly international environment that is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, and Lausanne is a highly international city.
