The Organizational Behavior and Theory area at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business is looking to fill a two year post-doctoral fellowship on the topics of collaboration and conflict for newly graduating PhDs in organizational behavior, psychology, communication, sociology, or other closely-related fields. The postdoc would be primarily supervised by Dr. Laurie R. Weingart. The postdoc will be expected to work on research projects in the areas of conflict and collaboration within the Collaboration and Conflict Research Lab, and will have the opportunity to work with other Carnegie Mellon University faculty and graduate students while also making progress toward publication of their ongoing research.

The two-year fellowship will begin in August of 2023. During the period of the fellowship, postdocs are expected to be in residence, work with faculty as coauthors on research projects, conduct their own research, participate in research seminars in the school and otherwise contribute to the research mission of the school. There are no teaching requirements, but there will be opportunities to teach or serve as a teaching assistant for additional compensation. In addition to competitive salary and benefits, the postdoc will receive an allowance for research/conference-related travel and expenses, and access to lab space, university-administered participant pools, and other resources from the Center for Behavioral and Decision Research (https://www.cbdr.cmu.edu/).

To be eligible, candidates must complete their PhD by August 1, 2023. The primary criterion is research excellence relevant to conflict and collaboration, especially within organizational contexts, and where the postdoc and faculty members can foresee developing joint research projects.
