FACULTY POSITION
HUMAN RESOURCE STUDIES
ILR SCHOOL, CORNELL UNIVERSITY
The Human Resource Studies department of the ILR (Industrial and Labor Relations) School at Cornell University has an opportunity to add one new faculty member beginning as soon as January of 2013. Preference will be given to tenure-qualified applicants at the associate and full professor levels whose work tends to take a strategic or organizational (i.e., macro) perspective of the field; that is to those with strong records of publications in top-tier journals in areas such as (but not limited to): untangling relationships between workplace practices and contexts and important stakeholder outcomes, emerging new approaches to work and employment relationships, human and social capital issues related to firm performance, international and comparative HRM, and the evolving role of the HR function.
Particularly well-qualified applicants will be considered for a chaired appointment as the William J. Conaty GE Professor of Strategic Human Resources.
Applicants must possess an earned PhD in HR or closely related fields such as industrial and labor relations, work and employment, business strategy, organization theory, organizational behavior, sociology, or economics and should have an active interest in engaging in outreach activities with HR executives and related stakeholders through the School's Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies (CAHRS – www.ilr.cornell.edu/cahrs), executive education programs, and similar venues.
The ILR School is the world's leading college focused on work, employment, and related issues. Information about the School is available at www.ilr.cornell.edu. The faculty of the HR Studies department includes a dozen scholars who are focused on both the macro and micro aspects of the field and who study a wide range of topical issues in these arenas. Information about the department is available at www.ilr.cornell.edu/academics/hr/html. In addition to CAHRS, the department is closely affiliated with the Institute for Compensation Studies, which is a major incubator and clearinghouse for compensation and related research (www.ilr.cornell.edu/ics).
Applications from women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter describing their research and teaching interests, a vita, a writing sample, and three reference letters to:
