The faculty member’s teaching and research should focus on work, employment, and organizational issues. The rank is open, and candidates at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor levels will be considered.

At the Assistant Professor level, candidates must possess a Ph.D. in a field related to Work and Organization Studies, such as Sociology, Organizational Behavior, Industrial Relations, Social Psychology, Political Science, or Economics, at the start of employment.

The WOS group is part of the Behavioral and Policy Sciences Area at Sloan. WOS faculty is interdisciplinary, with research approaches that may include quantitative, computational social science, ethnographic, field-based, and/or lab-based methods. WOS builds on the traditions of Organization Studies and the Institute for Work and Employment Research and has Ph.D. programs in both areas.
