The Human Resource Studies department of the ILR School at Cornell University has an opportunity to add two new faculty members beginning August of 2014. One opening is at the assistant professor level, while the other is at the associate or full professor level. At the assistant professor level, preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated potential to publish high-quality research in human resource studies and to teach HR courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

At the associate and full professor levels, preference will be given to tenure-qualified applicants whose work tends to take a strategic or organizational (i.e., macro) perspective of the field. We are seeking candidates 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 at the associate and full professor level will be considered for a chaired appointment as the William J. Conaty GE Professor of Strategic Human Resources.

At the time of appointment, applicants must possess a PhD in relevant disciplines, such as human resource studies, industrial and labor relations, work and employment, business strategy, organization theory, organizational behavior, I/O psychology, sociology, or economics. Applicants at the associate and full levels 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), executive education programs, and similar venues.
