Job Summary:

The Interdisciplinary Program in Organizational Studies in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan seeks applicants for a full time Lecturer III position to begin August 25, 2027. Organizational Studies is a small but growing selective undergraduate major in the arts and sciences. This is a non-tenure track position with a university year appointment. The initial appointment period will be four (4) years, and the appointment may be renewed (based on programmatic need, funding, and performance). The appointment is subject to final approval by the college.

Responsibilities:

Duties and responsibilities for this Lecturer III position are expected to include four (4) in-person undergraduate courses per year, including both lectures and seminars, as well as departmental service, including undergraduate advising, mentoring, and programmatic work equivalent to a third class per semester, and service on appropriate committees. A typical full-time (100% effort) load for a Lecturer III in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts is three courses per semester, or the equivalent in administrative and/or service duties.

Qualifications:

Qualified candidates will have a graduate degree (doctorate preferred) in a relevant social/behavioral science or professional discipline prior to the start date of the position and a range of instructional expertise. Candidates must be able to teach lower- and upper-level classes relevant to the study of organizations that are grounded in social/behavioral science. We especially welcome applicants prepared to teach Leadership or Negotiations, or who can propose another high-demand lower level course. Candidates should also be capable of teaching at least one and preferably two of our core classes (micro-organizational behavior, macro-organizational theory, and research capstone) when needed. Interest in building co-curriculum for our expanding major is a plus. Excellence in teaching (including in larger classes), alignment with student demand, and potential in instructional service (including undergraduate advising, mentorship, and programmatic work) will be the principal criteria used to select the successful candidate.
