Located in RABAT, the capital city of the Kingdom of Morocco with executive training also in Casablanca or at clients’ headquarters and offices, ABS aims to be the inclusive hub of lifelong learners and mindful doers, shaping the business and societal landscape in Africa & beyond.
ABS mission is to:
- Train next generation leaders to be critical thinkers, creative entrepreneurs, and socially responsible actors.
- Develop multi-disciplinary research and groundbreaking education methods to enhance students’ holistic and analytical competencies and allow them to embrace paradox and lead in fast moving and complex environments.
- Stimulate collaborative innovation that reaches beyond the classroom and connects students with stakeholders across a wide range of sectors.
- Build an ever-evolving thriving network of change makers: students, alumni, researchers, faculty, staff, organizations, academic institutions, and public sector players.
- Act as both an engine and a bridge for the diffusion and expansion of a world-class and impactful business & management knowledge grounded in Africa’s contexts.
Pioneered by OCP (as it is also the case for UM6P), the global leader of the phosphate industry and one the largest Moroccan firm, ABS's legitimate ambition is to become the leading school in Africa in the field of business and management sciences. The school benefits from an exceptional learning and research ethos in Africa and has signed several partnerships with world class universities and schools (Columbia BS, Ecole Polytechnique, HEC Paris, Ecole des Ponts Paritech…)
The school is growing rapidly both in Executive Education (Open & Custom programs), in degree programs (MBA, executive Masters) and in Doctoral programs (PhD, DBA, postdocs). ABS aims for quality and the highest standards in degree and continuing professional development programmes.
To enrich its faculty team, ABS is now recruiting a Professor in Sustainability. ABS recruits professors who are both recognized teachers and researchers, possessing legitimacy with executive leaders.
The right candidate should demonstrate very good research activity including a relevant impact for the industry. The applicant should be proficient in relationships with manager and executive audiences, both in a purely academic and managerial context.
The candidate needs to show a real interest in the African continent, ABS having the ambition to become a key player within Africa.
The position implies a close work with the rest of the teams (Deans and faculty members), so you must enjoy collegial and collaborative work.
Key responsibilities include the following:
- Teaching: Program development, program direction, executive education, development of pedagogical material (cases, simulations, and exercises).
- Research: develop research activities and publications, having a relevant impact for organizations, within internationally recognized journals. The research activity must also positively feed the educational content and our clients.
- Industry engagement: advisory activities at the C-level and aim at competing with top advisory firms.
