Faculty Position in Work and Organization Studies
The Work and Organization Studies (WOS) group at the MIT Sloan School is
seeking to hire a faculty member whose teaching and research focuses on
work and employment issues. The rank of this position is open and both
junior and senior candidates will be considered. Candidates must have their
Ph.D. at the start of their employment.
Faculty responsibilities include teaching basic courses related to work and
organization studies. WOS has teaching needs in negotiations and it would
be desirable (although not essential) if the candidate could teach in this
area. It is expected that the candidate be prepared to teach at all
levels: MBA, executive, Ph.D., and undergraduate.
WOS is a new group that merges two former groups at Sloan, the
Organizational Studies Group and the Institute for Work and Employment
Research. As such the WOS faculty is interdisciplinary and the new hire’s
background is open and might include sociology, organizational behavior,
political science, or economics. We are open to a variety of styles of
research (quantitative, ethnographic, field based) but we do expect that
the new hire would approach work and employment issues from what might be
termed a “macro” or “structural” point of view. Our group also contains
strong social psychologists and candidates with that background are
encouraged to consider our other position announcement in leadership.
WOS is part of the Behavioral and Policy Sciences Area, one of three major
academic areas at Sloan. We encourage multidisciplinary work with
colleagues in other parts of the School, and several members of the group
are also members of other groups in the School (Communication, Economic
Sociology, Information Technology, Strategy, System Dynamics).
Please submit applications electronically at

Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be
submitted via this link. Applications are due November 9, 2013.
MIT is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a culturally
diverse and pluralistic intellectual community and strongly encourages
applications from women and minorities.
