At the time of appointment the successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in one of the social sciences or in a related field (e.g. ethics, political philosophy).

In addition, applicants should have the breadth and versatility to teach the core courses of the Business & Society undergraduate programme.

The successful candidate should be eligible for prompt appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Business and Society (http://www.yorku.ca/laps/sosc/buso/) is a unique and innovative interdisciplinary programme; its mandate is to critically explore alternative approaches to the study of business and economics not traditionally found in conventional business programmes. Members of faculty enjoy a rich environment with colleagues from parallel interdisciplinary programmes, e.g. Law & Society, International Development Studies, Labour Studies, Social & Political Thought.
