The Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Management of Organizations with an expected start date of July 1, 2027.
The Management of Organizations faculty group seeks to hire an individual who conducts research on entrepreneurship and/or innovation. We are open to a wide range of theoretical traditions and methodological approaches but are especially interested in individuals whose work uncovers novel insights into the sociological and economic mechanisms that drive behavior in organizations.
The Management of Organizations (MORS) group focuses on understanding the sociological, psychological, and economic processes that drive behavior within organizations. Key areas of study include innovation, culture, social networks, entrepreneurship, power and status, negotiations and conflict resolution, non-verbal communication, judgment and decision-making, diversity, and self and person perception.
Faculty in the MORS group train students at all levels—undergraduate, MBA, PhD, and executive—to understand how these core themes affect organizational performance and the impact that organizations have on society. Students learn to analyze complex organizations, identify the causes of suboptimal performance and inequality, and develop and implement effective interventions at the micro (individual) and macro (organizational) levels.
At Berkeley Haas, we believe that a fundamental step in redefining the business leader is to get our culture right, because this culture encourages students to develop the mindset and behaviors of innovative leaders. Berkeley Haas students, faculty, staff, and alumni live our distinctive culture out loud by embracing our four Defining Leadership Principles .
Berkeley Haas is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit the Office for Faculty Equity and Welfare's website for New Faculty .
