Description

The Organisational Behaviour “OB” group of London Business School is currently seeking to fill a tenure track position. We are looking for exceptional scholars with an organisational behaviour focus as informed by related disciplines (e.g., psychology and sociology) who want to work with an outstanding group of faculty members in a unique environment. London Business School is highly international and located in the heart of one of the most vibrant cities in the world, providing extraordinary access to business, culture, and government. London Business School is an equal opportunities employer and, as such, we particularly welcome applications from women, black, and other ethnic minority candidates who are underrepresented in our faculty. This diversity enables us to continue to grow as a world-class OB group over the coming years. All candidates are invited to share how they would contribute to diversifying our faculty in 1-2 sentences of their cover letters, though this is not a requirement of the application process.  

The OB Group at London Business School

We are part of a research-led school that emphasizes and encourages the dissemination of relevant and impactful research in the premier academic journals. Current research being conducted in the group engages issues such as decision making, diversity, emotions, gender, identity, leadership, mindsets, morality, negotiations, organizational culture, personality, power and status dynamics, self-regulation, social networks, teams, and trust. Faculty members include: Minseo Baek, Daniel Cable, Daniel Effron, Elinor Flynn, Lynda Gratton, Ben Hardy, Herminia Ibarra, Ena Inesi, Selin Kesebir, Ussama Ahmad Khan, Gillian Ku, Thomas Mussweiler, Kathleen O’Connor, Randall Peterson, Aneeta Rattan, and Niro Sivanathan. In addition, we often collaborate with a group of organizational scholars residing in the Strategy and Entrepreneurship department.

The OB group provides a supportive research environment with impressive access to leading global companies, given a majority of Fortune 500 companies have a London presence. London Business School also offers excellent research funding support that covers the typical research expenses of faculty. Where extraordinary levels of funding are needed, the school provides excellent administrative support for grant applications to funding bodies such as the Economic and Social Research Council and the European Research Council; several of our colleagues are recipients of generous research grants and fellowships. In addition, we have a world-class behavioural research laboratory for conducting laboratory-based experimentation, as well as computing and library facilities (through the strong network of libraries of various colleges of the University of London and the British National Library) on par with the best business schools worldwide.

London Business School is a graduate college of the University of London, offering masters and Ph.D. programs in addition to an extensive Executive Education portfolio. We have consistently ranked among the top business school programs in the world, with our OB curriculum serving as a foundational element across all of the school's offerings. Teaching a highly international student body from over 60 countries can be both exciting and challenging, and our teaching loads and salaries are highly competitive with the best graduate schools of business in the United States.
