Applicants should possess knowledge of current best practices in HR and in research methods.

Our department and college value both teaching and research, so a strong candidate will have both a stream of research in progress and the aspiration to excel as a teacher.

• Refereed journal publications or revise‑and‑resubmits in HR, management, or a related field.
• Professional business experience.
• Demonstrated service to the campus, local community, field, and profession.
