Assistant Professor in Human Resources/Organizational Behavior

The Faculty of Business Administration is committed to excellence and relevance in its teaching, research and community engagement. Applications are invited for a tenure-track faculty position in Human Resources/Organizational Behavior at the rank of assistant professor with a proposed commencement date of July 1, 2024. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position is subject to budgetary approval.

Applicants should have or be very near completion of a PhD or DBA, have demonstrated research productivity commensurate with the rank, and a commitment to teaching and research in a university environment. The successful applicant will teach undergraduate and graduate courses and conduct research in the area of Human Resources Management (HRM) or Organizational Behaviour (OB) and support the faculty’s M.Sc. and PhD specializations in HR/OB. Given the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion to curriculum in this area and the province’s increased focus on immigration, persons with lived experience as a visible minority or racialized person would be an asset.

If the candidate completes all the requirements for the doctorate during the first 24 months of the term appointment, they shall begin a tenure-track appointment following completion of the requirements of the degree.
