Organizational Behavior (OB). We seek to fill this position at either the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank

position is Fall 2024. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or be in the final stages), a proven track record in conducting
high-quality scholarly research, and demonstrated teaching competence at a high level.

Assistant Professor rank, with publications in premier journals, a high impact research program (or such potential
underway), and who are able to connect with the wide array of doctoral students and faculty in our department.
Regardless of rank, faculty members are expected to pursue an active research program, perform undergraduate
and/or graduate teaching, supervise graduate students, and engage in professional service.
Candidates for the position can apply directly online by uploading a letter of interest, CV, three research papers,
and a one-page diversity statement indicating the candidates' awareness of, experience with, and/or commitment
to diversity and inclusion. Candidates applying for full or associate ranks may simply list three references on their
CV (whom we will contact if the candidate is short-listed); candidates applying for an assistant professor rank
should have three reference letters sent directly to psuOBprof@psu.edu. Any questions can be sent to the
recruiting committee chair, Margaret Luciano, Associate Professor of Management. Review of applications for the
position will begin on 10/13/23 and will continue until the position is filled.
