About the organization

The Valence Institute of Technology (IUT de Valence) is a constituent school of Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA). It offers four Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T.) degrees in the fields of management, business, computer science, and networks and telecommunications.

The mission of the IUT de Valence is to support the professional development of its students, enabling them, upon graduation, to either enter the workforce directly or pursue further studies. In addition, the institute has strengthened its support for students in building their career paths through the creation of its own Skills and Careers Center.

All degree programs are structured around a competency-based approach developed over a three-year curriculum.

For further information, please see the IUT de Valence website (in French only).

The CERAG is working to build a collective of researchers who use management sciences to promote a socially and ecologically sustainable society.

For further information, please see the CERAG website (in French only).

Your mission

The GEA Department (Business and Administration Management) of the Valence Institute of Technology offers three B.U.T. tracks, available as initial training or through apprenticeship schemes: Accounting, Taxation and Financial Management; Management, Entrepreneurship and Business Development; and Management Control and Performance Management.
You will be responsible for delivering courses within a professionally oriented curriculum (lectures, tutorials, and practical sessions) from the first to the third year of the B.U.T. GEA program.

The successful candidate will be required to integrate into one of CERAG's thematic areas: TERRES (Territories, Ecosystems, Resources, Resilience, Sustainability); TRECS (Transitions, Responsibilities, Experiences, Behaviours and Society) or ORITA (Organization and Responsibility through Innovation, Work and Learning). The laboratory is looking to recruit a colleague whose research focuses on supporting ecological and social transitions in line with its scientific orientation. The profile focuses on the study of processes, methods and tools that support organizations in their transformations. The candidate may show an interest in topics related to:
- new organizational forms,
- new business models,
- transition management (in the context of crises),
- the impact of innovations on users.

Critical perspectives on digital and organizational transformations are also welcome, particularly with regard to planetary boundaries.

Main activities

You will teach economics to first-, second-, and third-year B.U.T. students (BUT1, BUT2, BUT3), as well as introductory courses in management and sociology, using a pedagogical approach tailored to a diverse student population (general and technological high school backgrounds), coordinate teaching teams and contribute to the implementation of Learning and Assessment Situations (SAÉ) within the B.U.T. programs ; supervise students during internships, apprenticeship placements, and project-based learning (tutored projects) and participate in meetings and events related to the academic programs.

 

Participation in academic networks (associations and reference conferences) and the ability to work in an international context are expected. A good command of English is therefore required.

The successful candidate will play an active role in the development of CERAG's themes and will develop and manage research projects at local, national and international levels. Interdisciplinary approaches in synergy with other human, social and engineering sciences are welcome.  Similarly, research relationships with foreign teams will be considered as a significant contribution to the laboratory.
Research must lead to publications, in particular in high-impact journals in French and English. 

The candidate will be encouraged to participate in the laboratory's carbon footprint reduction team.
