Auditors’ Behavior in Remote Work

Presentation

We are looking for a talented post-doc to join us in the framework of the ANR research project REMOTAUDIT (auditors’ behavior in remote work). REMOTAUDIT is a joint project between ESSCA, IAE Lyon 3, and HEC Montréal, fully funded by the French research agency. It aims at answering one of the key questions raised by remote work: which levers, in terms of innovation, can we develop to achieve higher quality results in remote work as compared to on‐site work? The REMOTAUDIT project tackles this issue by studying the audit field and using experimental methods. The final goal is to improve information systems, possibly through nudges, to maintain or increase the telecommuters’ quality of work.

We are looking to fill the position as soon as possible. This is a two-year contract, ending at the latest on April 2026. This position is available either on the Lyon Campus of ESSCA or on its Aix-en-Provence one.

The salary is 40 K€ annually.
