OPEN RANK FACULTY POSITION – ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management invites applications for one or more Open Rank (Assistant, Associate, or Full) positions in the Organizational Behavior area starting 1st August 2024, pending budget approval.  Successful candidates will sustain cutting-edge, high quality research and publish in top journals. They are also expected to work actively with doctoral students, and to teach in our undergraduate and graduate programs. We encourage applications from candidates at all levels.

Qualifications and Education Requirements:

Candidates who have already earned a Ph.D. must have done so in a related discipline (e.g., organizational behaviour, management, strategy, international business, entrepreneurship, organizational theory, sociology, psychology). The ideal candidate with a Ph.D. will have an experience-appropriate record of research publications in high quality, peer-reviewed journals, evidence of effective teaching, and clear promise of pursuing an interesting and innovative research agenda. Applicants demonstrating outstanding potential, both as a researcher and a teacher, who are doctoral students and plan to have completed the requirements for their Ph.D. (also in a related discipline) by December 2024 will also be considered. Preference will be given to candidates interested in research and teaching on sustainability; entrepreneurship/innovation; equity, diversity, and inclusion; or AI/analytics.  However, all applicants will be considered.

McGill University is an English-language university where most teaching and research activities are conducted in the English language, thereby requiring English communication both verbally and in writing; but knowledge of French or a willingness to learn French is desirable.
