Greetings, OMTers --
The Brown University Sociology Department has just received
authorization to search for a one- or two-year Visiting Assistant
Professorship in organizational studies. The official position listing
is appended below; but I'd like to highlight few noteworthy features:
-- The position is neither an adjunct lectureship nor a post-doc, but
rather a named visiting assistant professorship: The Pearson Visiting
Assistant Professor of Sociology and Organizational Studies.
-- The teaching load is quite reasonable (one course per semester).
-- The search has been defined broadly, to encompass applicants from all
fields at the intersection of Organizational Studies, Sociology of
Organizations, Economic Sociology, and Work and Occupations. Business
School PhDs in any of these areas would be welcome!
-- Brown offers a vibrant organizations community, with a lively
graduate program, engaged and intrepid undergraduates, and a very
livable locale.
-- Brown is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, with a
strong commitment to fostering diversity at all levels. Women and
minorities are encouraged to apply.
-- Interested candidates should apply via Interfolio, using the link in
the attached position listing.
-- Review of applications will begin on May 1 2014 and will continue
until the position is filled.
Thanks in advance for passing this along -- or for applying, if you're
interested yourself!
Best,
Mark
