The Performance Measurement & Management (PMM) Department at ESCP Business School invites applications for the position of Assistant or Associate Professor in Management Accounting & Control, to join our London campus, with an anticipated start date of January 2027.
This position supports a balanced development of research and teaching. Faculty are expected to contribute to the school’s academic life, including academic directorship roles over time.

About the Department
The PMM Department comprises 13 full-time faculty members specialising in performance measurement and management across organisations and society. Our research adopts organisational and sociological perspectives to critically examine management control practices across private, public, and alternative organisational settings (e.g., NGOs, cooperatives). We embrace methodological pluralism and focus on topics such as:
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Performance measurement across financial, operational, sustainability, and social dimensions
- Management control systems (e.g., KPIs, incentives, dashboards) and supporting digital technologies (e.g., AI, ERPs)
- The societal and organisational implications of performance quantification
Teaching approaches that are case-based, research-based and project-based are highly valued, as they encourage reflexivity. We teach management accounting and control tools, as well as the ability to critically reflect on them (question their design, use, and effects). Since the notion of ‘best practices’ can itself be questioned, we aim to open the black box of performance measures to reveal their inner workings, underlying assumptions, biases, and potential implications. We believe that this approach is important for generating more sustainable management practices.
