    The Faculty of Business and Economics (HEC Lausanne,
    http://www.hec.unil.ch) of the University of Lausanne invites
    applications for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor or Full Professor in
    Organizational Behavior to begin August 1st, 2014 or a mutually agreed
    upon date. We seek applicants with strong research and teaching
    potential in Organizational Behavior, with a specialization in
    leadership and leadership development. Although we currently teach
    leadership development in our Master's and EMBA programs, we wish to
    extend this training to Bachelor-level courses and offer more leadership
    skills development courses in other programs. Thus, applicants must have
    a very strong foundation in leadership and leadership development, with
    a particular focus on leader skill development, in addition to a basic
    background in organizational behavior.

    Some background information:
    The OB Department is currently composed of 20 members (including
    doctoral and post-doctoral students) with a strong quantitative focus.
    Our six professors have broad interests in various topics related to
    organizational behavior such as leadership, workforce diversity,
    decision making, modeling, and behavioral economics. We publish in top
    journals, such as Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied
    Psychology, Journal of Management, Psychological Review, Psychological
    Bulletin, Science, Psychological Science, Intelligence, Quarterly
    Journal of Economics, American Economic Review, as well as in top field
    and practitioner journals like Leadership Quarterly, Personality and
    Individual Differences, and Harvard Business Review. We are also very
    active in grant acquisitions and have collectively directed several
    millions of Swiss francs (0.90 Swiss Francs = $1) in funded research.

    We actively supervise several doctoral students, who are enrolled in our
    PhD program in management that has a strong teaching component, have an
    MSc Management specialization in OB, an OB brownbag seminar series, and
    are very active in research at an international level. Our university
    has recently built a superbly-equipped laboratory for conducting
    experiments, including neuroscience experiments (we have two EEGs and a
    NIRS) that is housed in our building. Furthermore, the Faculty has a
    very strong economics department with which we have solid links in areas
    related to personnel, labor, and behavioral economics/finance. For more
    information on the OB department, please follow this link:

    Lausanne is in a fantastic location, on the shores of the Lac L�man
    (Lake Geneva) and Switzerland has an unsurpassed quality of life. The
    Faculty of Business and Economics has a very solid reputation in
    Switzerland and Europe in research rankings, and our management master's
    program is highly ranked by the Financial Times.

    Requirements:
    Candidates must hold a PhD in leadership, organizational behavior,
    industrial psychology, social psychology, management or behavioral
    economics. They should also demonstrate the ability to publish in
    leading international journals of their field and have a strong research
    and teaching potential in leadership and particularly the development of
    leadership. Candidates should be able to speak English or French and be
    able to master the other language within an adjustment period of two
    years. Teaching will be at the Bachelor (language of instructions is
    generally French) and Master (language of instructions is generally
    English) level. Within our department we speak in English. For further
