Position Description

The Feliciano School of Business at Montclair State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Organizational Change and the Future of Work, starting on August 27, 2027. The Department of Management seeks a scholar whose research and teaching examines how organizations anticipate, lead, and adapt to major changes in work, technology, structure, and talent systems, including topics such as organizational change, change leadership, the future of work, digital transformation, AI in organizations, workforce analytics, and human-technology collaboration. The successful candidate will contribute to both undergraduate and graduate programs in management, entrepreneurship, human resources, and project management, and play a key role in developing innovative, future-focused courses such as Organizational Change and Development, Future of Work, Digital Transformation and Change Leadership, Leadership in Technology-Enabled Organizations, Human and AI Collaboration, and Workforce Analytics. Scholarly focus and agenda should include organizational change, the future of work, digital transformation, AI in organizations, workforce analytics, or related technology-enabled changes in management. The ability to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and community-engaged scholarship is also highly desirable.

Teaching

The standard annual teaching load for tenure-track faculty is 12 teaching credit hours (TCH) a semester, with additional TCH reassigned time (course release) available for faculty with additional responsibilities such as mentoring doctoral faculty or administering programs. Faculty are expected to center student success and measurable learning outcomes through clear course design, inclusive pedagogies, and the integration of emerging disciplinary and pedagogical developments. Responsibilities include classroom instruction, student mentoring and advising, and developing and updating courses and curricula aligned with student demands and institutional strategic priorities.

Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Faculty are expected to be productive scholars or artists whose work embodies formal inquiry or creative expression that expands, enhances, or applies knowledge. Research results must be shared in significant national and/or international scholarly or artistic venues following rigorous review. The University supports these endeavors through the Faculty Scholarship Program (FSP), which typically provides research-active faculty with up to 6 TCH of reassigned time per academic year to pursue their scholarly agenda.

Service

Faculty members are expected to perform valuable service to the department, college/school, university, and professional communities. This includes participating in shared governance, academic program vitality, and sharing professional expertise within and beyond the University. Service activities are separate and distinct from the specific assignments for which faculty members receive course release.
