Background 

The Organizational Behaviour Group at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge is seeking to recruit a University Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Organizational Behaviour (OB). This role is equivalent to Assistant Professor.

Cambridge Judge Business School (www.jbs.cam.ac.uk) is a world-class business school at the heart of the University of Cambridge. The School offers a full suite of MBA, Executive MBA (EMBA) and Executive Education programmes as well as predominantly postgraduate degrees in management, finance, and technology policy.

Cambridge's location in close proximity to London and at the same time at the centre of 'Silicon Fen', Europe's fastest growing technology-based industrial centres, gives unprecedented access to large multi nationals and to hundreds of smaller entrepreneurial organizations in emerging industries. In addition, the interdisciplinarity that characterises research at Cambridge ensures faculty contact across a wide range of departments and expertise, thus promoting cross-fertilisation of ideas.

THE ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR GROUP

You will be joining a newly established group with research interests in organizational behaviour at the micro, meso, and macro levels.

The Organizational Behaviour group is a newly founded group that will become operational from October 2018 onward. It aspires to promote simultaneously our basic understanding of individual and group behaviour at all levels within organizations and the translation of our scientific research into practical implications that have significant executive and corporate value. To achieve these aims the group is focused on conducting rigorous and cutting-edge research that is published in both major empirical OB outlets, such as Journal of Applied Psychology, Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Organizational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes, and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and managerial and practitioner focused outlets such as Harvard Business Review. To achieve and promote our integrative approach of both basic and practical research we focus on developing local, national, and international collaborations with leading scholars (in OB and other related fields), business leaders, and major corporations.

The Organizational Behaviour group currently includes the research faculty Dr. Jochen Menges, Dr. Andreas Richter, and Dr. David Stilwell, senior faculty in management practice fellow Dr. Keith Goodall, cross-listed faculty Professor Sucheta Nadkarni, and research associate Dr. Jakob Stollberger. Current research interests include big data, leadership and emotions, creativity and innovation, cross-cultural management, psychometric measurement, strategic leadership, and teams. The Organizational Behaviour group conducts mostly quantitative and mixed-methods research, largely (but not exclusively) drawing on experimental, survey, and archival data collected in international contexts. The group runs the CEBEG Experimental Laboratory at Cambridge Judge Business School (https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/faculty-research/centres/cebeg/) and has a lab manager available to coordinate research activities. The group is active in the PhD programme and welcomes involvement at all levels, from hosting visiting professors to working with student research volunteers.

We are looking for someone with training and interest in organizational behaviour or related disciplines, capable of research at the highest level, and targeting publications in the top journals in the field. The preferred candidate is expected to have an attitude and willingness to develop knowledge that has clear practical implications for organizations. The Organizational Behaviour group is striving to foster an internal collaborative culture in which a pro-active and responsible attitude is combined with an outside view to the business world.

The University of Cambridge is a research-led university in which all academic staff are expected to contribute substantially to research by publishing work of high intellectual standard.  The role holder would be expected to carry out research that is not only published in top journals, but also has impact.

The role holder will be expected at first to have the potential to teach Organizational Behaviour and related courses to undergraduate, MPhil, and MBA students. Prior teaching experience, as well as experience with MBA teaching, is a plus. Project and dissertation supervision is also expected.

The teaching load of University Lecturers at Cambridge Judge Business School is very typically 30 hours of formal classroom contact or equivalent in the role holder's first year if this is their first teaching appointment, 50 hours in the second, and 70 hours thereafter. University Lecturers who have prior teaching experience and University Senior Lecturers will have to teach 60 points in the first year and after that a steady state of 70 points per year. One point is the equivalent of a one-hour classroom interaction, but there are also allocations for project and thesis supervision. Teaching embraces curriculum design, lecturing, seminars and individual and group supervision. All lecturers are expected to carry out certain administrative duties.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience;

• A PhD in organizational behaviour or related discipline (e.g., management, organizational psychology)
• Established or developing bibliography of research publications and clear potential to publish in the leading academic and managerial journals
• Up-to-date with the latest thinking in specialist subject area by reading other academic material, attending conferences and active discussions with other academics in the field
• An interest in and/or experience with companies and executive development 
• Prior teaching experience would be desirable
  
  Because the subject group is developing rapidly, it is important that appointees welcome the opportunity to cooperate actively with a busy energetic team. All members are expected to participate actively in the development of the group.

The salary is internationally competitive.

The appointment will be from autumn 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter, and will be a tenure track position, with a tenure decision within five years.

There is an entitlement to sabbatical leave on full pay, accumulated on the basis of one term's leave for every six terms in office.
