We are looking for an Assistant Professor in HRM & HR Analytics. Candidates should have or be close to (the thesis should be approved by the time the contract starts) obtaining a PhD in HRM, Management Science, Business Analytics, Psychometrics or a closely related discipline, and their research should concern the fields of HRM, organizational behavior/management and/or people or business analytics. We are especially interested in candidates with a quantitative background and an interest in People Analytics. They will be evaluated on their potential for and/or record of excellence in teaching and research. Given developments in the section’s and school’s research we expect that candidates are skilled in applying computer science-powered tools of data analysis or are willing to learn these skills and develop this expertise as soon as possible.
