The Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources is internationally renowned for the study of work and employment relations from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and empirical approaches. Historically, faculty with strong empirical methods and backgrounds in economics, management, sociology, history, law, psychology and political science have been actively engaged in employment / industrial relations research and teaching. We therefore welcome applications from scholars interested in employment relations from those and other relevant backgrounds.
The successful candidate will teach in both the undergraduate and graduate programs and will be expected to develop an independently funded program of research. Candidates must be able to teach a selection of courses in industrial relations/human resources and must have strong communication skills as well as demonstrated success in developing students’ mastery of a subject and of the latest developments in the field. Our PhD program is quantitatively and analytically oriented, as such these skills would be expected for involvement in the program including supervision once tenure has been achieved.
