    Posted 08-27-2014 18:31
    Greetings, OMTers --

    This Fall, the Brown University Sociology Department will be recruiting
    for a tenure track position in Organizational Studies, at the Assistant
    Professor level. The official position listing is appended below; but
    I'd like to highlight a few noteworthy features:

    -- We've defined our search as broadly as possible, and we'd welcome
    applicants from any field in the general domain of Organizational
    Studies, Entrepreneurship, Organizational Sociology, Economic Sociology,
    and Work and Occupations. Business School PhDs in any of these areas
    would be welcome!

    -- We're particularly interested in candidates who can build on our
    department's strengths in development, environment, health, urban
    studies, demography, and spatial analysis, or who can connect in
    interesting ways with Brown's interdisciplinary activities in
    entrepreneurship, innovation, international studies, and healthcare.

    -- Brown offers a vibrant organizations community, with an
    interdisciplinary faculty, a lively graduate program, and engaged and
    intrepid undergraduates. The university is situated in a wonderfully
    hospitable locale, with affordable housing (by Northeastern standards!),
    abundant coastline, ready access to Boston, rail links to the entire
    Eastern seaboard, and convenient domestic and international air travel.

    -- Brown is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, with a
    strong commitment to fostering diversity at all levels. We
    enthusiastically encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, who
    can share in the diversity of our growing intellectual community!

    -- Potential candidates should note the relatively early application
    date: Monday, September 15. All application materials should should be
    submitted via Interfolio, using the link in the position listing, below.

    Thanks in advance for passing this along -- or for applying, if you're
    interested yourself!

    Best wishes,
    Mark Suchman
    Search Committee Chair

    Brown University Department of Sociology
    Assistant Professor in Organizational Studies

    The Brown University Department of Sociology seeks applications for a
    tenure track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor of
    Sociology, to begin July 1, 2015, for a scholar with a specialization in
    the area of organizational studies. Within this focus, we particularly
    seek candidates who conceive their work broadly, whose work contributes
    toward the larger discipline of sociology, and who can engage creatively
    with other areas of strength in the Department, such as development,
    environment, health and medicine, urban studies, demography and spatial
    analysis. The new faculty member will also join the growing community
    associated with Brown�s interdisciplinary program on Business,
    Entrepreneurship and Organizations, and should be able to participate
    enthusiastically in dialog, scholarship and teaching on topics in both
    micro-level organizational behavior and macro-level organizational
    theory. A successful candidate must be engaged in a research program
    with the potential to influence his/her field, demonstrate the intention
    to obtain external funding, and demonstrate the potential for excellence
    in undergraduate and graduate teaching and advising.

    completed and planned, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a short writing
    sample, and (4) a teaching statement. Candidates should have three
