    Posted 02-16-2015 05:07


    --Dear Colleagues,


    The Center for Positive Organizations (CPO) at the University of
    Michigan's Ross School of Business is pleased to announce that it is
    seeking to hire a qualified Postdoctoral Fellow for a period of two
    years. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be a part of CPO but will also
    have an opportunity to interact extensively with the Management and
    Organizations Area during this two-year term. There are no teaching
    responsibilities. The primary responsibilities will involve helping
    boost the research environment at CPO. It is a wonderful opportunity
    to spend two years working primarily on research and engaging with and
    contributing to a vibrant Center and collegial Management and
    Organization's (MO) Area at Michigan Ross.

    All applicants should have a Ph.D. in organizational behavior or
    related field such as psychology by August, 2015. The position will
    likely be especially attractive for individuals who have a background
    in organizational behavior or management or a psychologist (e.g.,
    social, I/O, positive) with organizational interests who would like to
    transition to a business school.

    The Center for Positive Organizations is a leading hub of research
    taking a positive lens to study organizational phenomena. Scholars in
    the Center study a wide variety of topics (e.g., leadership, thriving,
    meaning, relationships, identity, negotiations, ethics/morality,
    values, virtues, etc.) using different methodologies. To read more
    about core faculty associated with CPO go to

    like to read more about the MO Area and faculty go to

    Applicants should submit (1) a cover letter, (2) research statement
    describing their research interests, accomplishments, and fit with the
    Center, (3) a C.V., and (4) three letters of recommendation. All
    materials and inquiries should be sent to CPOpostdoc@umich.edu. Please
    tell your letter of recommendation writers to include your name in the
    subject line of the email. Materials should be submitted by March 3,
    2015 in order to receive full consideration.
