Ideal qualifications for this position include: PhD in Management or Organizational Behavior, or in closely related field, with an established scholarly and professional identity in Management/Organizational Behavior; Established and sustained record of high-quality scholarship published predominantly in top-tier Management journals; A recent record of research productivity and a strong, active pipeline indicating the likelihood of continued publication in top-tier Management journals; Research program that enhances and expands the intellectual environment of the Department and School; Demonstrated excellence in teaching, including EMBA and MBA courses; History of effective leadership and service at the department, college, and/or university levels; Experience building positive, collaborative relationships within and across departments; Commitment to professional and constructive interactions with colleagues. The tenure-track faculty in the Management Department includes Bailey Bigelow, Bryan Bonner, Kristina Diekmann, Jesse Graham, Glen Kreiner, Kylie Rochford, Amelia Stillwell, David Tannenbaum, and Elizabeth Tenney. With a shared interest in the dynamics of organizational life, this group of scholars conducts research using a broad range of research methods on topics including, but not limited to, ethical decision making in organizations, individual and group decision making processes, intergroup conflict and inequality, negotiations, status and hierarchy, stigma, workplace relationships, mental health, moral judgment, organizational justice, workplace mistreatment, and identity processes. This work is published in various top-tier outlets. Our department values open science as appropriately applied to a wide variety of research methods (quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method). The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah which is the fastest-growing tech state in the U.S. and home to the “Silicon Slopes” agglomeration of technology companies, including significant operations for Adobe, eBay, Intel, Micron, and DOMO. The University is within a day’s drive of five national parks. Nine ski and snowboard resorts are nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City, which hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 2002 and has been selected to host the Olympic Games again in 2034. The American Economic Development Institute named Utah the number one pro-business state in the country, the first state west of the Mississippi River to earn this recognition, and noted the state’s leadership in economic development, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The University of Utah is a member of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious, invitation-only group of 71 leading research institutions marked by excellence in academic expertise and research impact, student success, and the ability to secure resources in support of their core missions. The University is on the rise, as measured by nearly every key indicator, from graduation rates to research funding, to support from private and public partners. The Eccles School of Business has made similar significant gains. As the University aspires to become a top-10 public university, senior faculty in the Eccles School will play a key role in shaping the future contributions of the Business School in support of this mission. Review will begin October 15, 2026 and will continue until the position is filled.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
