The successful candidate will also be nominated for a Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier II in Healthy and Inclusive Work. CRC Tier II Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars and provide additional research funding and reductions in teaching responsibilities. Further information about the Canada Research Chairs Program, including eligibility criteria, can be found at the end of this advertisement and on the Government of Canada's CRC website.

We welcome applications at either the senior-level Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or Associate Professor (tenured) level. Expectations differ by rank.

Candidates at the Assistant Professor rank must:

• Have a burgeoning reputation in organizational behaviour, organizational psychology, or a closely related field, with an already demonstrated record in research and scholarship through publications and invited revisions at top-tier journals (e.g., FT-50 or equivalent outlets).
• Demonstrate strong theoretical and methodological skills through their research record, along with signs of growing scholarly impact (e.g., emerging citation patterns, refereeing activity).
• Demonstrate excellent teaching skills through student evaluations, along with evidence of thoughtful adaptation of teaching methods in light of the availability of generative AI.
• Show evidence of effective supervision or mentoring of students, particularly PhD students.
• Demonstrate a record of service to the School, University, and profession.
• Demonstrate a record of successful Tri-Agency grants as principal investigator (for Canadian applicants).
• Demonstrate a record of research translation and thought leadership, including non-traditional forms of knowledge dissemination where appropriate.
• Demonstrate a strong desire to conduct impactful research in healthy and inclusive work, with a clear trajectory for advancing this area.

Candidates at the Associate Professor rank must:

• Have a national or international reputation in organizational behaviour, organizational psychology, or a closely related field, demonstrated by an outstanding and consistent record of high-quality research in top-tier journals (e.g., FT-50 or equivalent outlets).
• Demonstrate strong research impact and reputation (e.g., citation influence, editorial board or editorship roles, keynote or invited talks, policy or industry uptake).
• Have a proven record of effective teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, with reflective adaptation of teaching methods to the availability of generative AI.
• Have a history of successful graduate student supervision.
• Have a strong record of service to their current school, university, and profession.
• Have a past record of securing Tri-Agency funding (if based in Canada) or clear readiness to apply (if based elsewhere).
• Demonstrate a sustained record of research translation and thought leadership.

For both ranks, to qualify for this position, they must demonstrate that their recent, current, and future research program meaningfully advances healthy and inclusive work as defined above. Non-traditional forms of knowledge generation and dissemination that show demonstrable impact will also be considered.
