Dear colleagues,
Earlier this summer the Management & Organizations group at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan posted a junior tenure-track faculty position and a post doc position. The description of these is below. We are happy to report that we now have the opportunity to hire for a second faculty position at the junior level. For this position, we are particularly interested in people who have a passion for teaching leadership at whatever level and can relate their research generally to the topic of leadership. Please apply following the same instructions for the faculty position listed below and with the same deadline of September 15, 2016.
Sue Ashford
Chair Management and Organizations Department

Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan
Junior Tenure-track Faculty Position and Post Doc in Management & Organizations
The Management & Organizations Area at the Ross School of Business is excited to be adding two new colleagues to our diverse, hard-working, and passionate-about-organizations group.
First, we seek to hire a tenure-track faculty member to begin in September 2017. Junior applicants (PhD completed no earlier than 2012) from business schools and all relevant disciplines (e.g., psychology, sociology and beyond) will be considered. Applicants should possess a strong research background and a passion for the study of organizations. Our new colleague should be able to teach effectively in our BBA, MBA and PhD programs. Applicants should have or expect to have a PhD in hand by September 1, 2017.
Applicants are required to submit their applications electronically by visiting the website (http://www.bus.umich.edu/facultyrecruiting/) and uploading their curriculum vitae, research papers and publications, research statement, teaching statement, and teaching evaluations. For an application to be considered complete, all applicants must have three letters of recommendation uploaded to the online recruiting website.
*****The application deadline is September 15, 2016. We look forward to reviewing your materials then.
Second, we are looking to fill a post-doctoral position for the academic years of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. Responsibilities over the course of the two-year appointment include being part of the scholarly community at Ross, mentoring and working with doctoral students, and conducting high-quality research.
This position provides emerging scholars with an excellent opportunity to develop and extend their research programs post PhD. The many resources that post-docs can take advantage of at Michigan include: research collaborations, mentorship, two departmental and one university-wide speaker series, and excellent doctoral students. Additional resources include several closely -related centers, the Center for Positive Organizations, the Sanger Leadership Center and the Center for Social Responsibility. Scholarly and curricular activities related to these centers provide possibilities for corporate contacts, collaboration, intellectual stimulation, and possible data collection
The Ross MO department is a highly collaborative and inclusive intellectual community. Post-docs are extremely valued for the energy and ideas they bring and are fully integrated into this community.
The department is intellectually open and long acclaimed for its research and scholarly contributions. Further, as a university, Michigan is known for its interdisciplinary and low barriers between departments and centers. The MO department has explicit ties to our Psychology and Sociology departments and to the Organizational Studies Program, ties that yield faculty collaborators, student research assistants, and intellectual stimulation. The University also has strong depth in methods training, allowing the postdoc to deepen methodological rigor during their two-year appointment. More information about Michigan can be found at http://umich.edu/.
We welcome graduates of MO departments as well as those completing degrees in Psychology, Sociology, or related disciplines who perhaps are considering careers in business schools. Further, Michigan strongly values diversity and all applicants are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should send samples of scholarly work, their vita, and three letters of reference to apply. The deadline for application is January 20, 2017. Application materials should be submitted through the following website: http://michiganross.umich.edu/faculty-research/recruiting.
