After earning her PhD, she accepted a position in the School of Management Sciences at the Université du Québec à Montréal until 2000 when she joined HEC Montréal as a full professor.[1] Upon her arrival at HEC Montréal, Langley became the director of the MSc and PhD programs from 2003 to 2006.

In 2014, she was the recipient of the Pierre Laurin Award for excellence in teaching and research.[7] Two years later, Langley was nominated by Howard Thomas and eventually elected a Fellow of the Academy of Management.[8] She also received an honorary doctorate from the Aalto University School of Business.[3] The following year, she was presented with the 2018 Thérèse Gouin Décarie Award.[9] In 2019, Langley was named an Honorary Member of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS)[10] and sat on the Scientific Committee of the Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins International Institute for Cooperatives.[11]

gollark: Perhaps I could *prepay* people in melons to find datas about me.
gollark: At least ask people beforehand.
gollark: That really reads more like a bizarre passive-aggressive threat.
gollark: I am willing to pay people absolutely nothing of "real" financial value for finding and reporting "personal data leaks". Partly because payments are irritating to do and have security problems and partly because it would possibly encourage stuff like finding my data somewhere and creating/reporting fake sites. However, I *can* pay you in krist, an entirely fake not-really-cryptocurrency on a few Minecraft servers, or melons.
gollark: That's... not really better?
