Project Background

This postdoctoral position is part of the LVMH Chair. Jointly created by ESSEC and the LVMH Group in 1991, the LVMH Chair is the longest-standing program worldwide, dedicated to training young talents for careers in the luxury industry. 

In addition to its educational mission, the chair leads cutting-edge research on luxury consumption and marketing, with publications in top-tier journals, including The Journal of Marketing, The Journal of Consumer Research, The Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and the International Journal of Research in Marketing.

The project offers an opportunity to collaborate with Delphine Dion and conduct high-impact qualitative research on topics related to the luxury industry, including market dynamics, consumption behavior, brand strategy, retail, and sustainability.

The candidate will spend 30% of his/her time on personal research projects; normally, these align with or complement the project’s themes so as to create mutual intellectual synergies.

The candidate will be affiliated with the Marketing Department. S/he will be based on the Cergy campus, with regular on-site presence.
