Welcome to OBWeb, the official web site of the OB Division!
|  The OB Division is devoted to the study of individuals and groups within organizational contexts. Members of the OB Division are actively engaged in understanding organizational processes and practices as they affect individuals and groups. (Want to take a closer look at our Division’s domain statement?) The OB Division is the largest division within the Academy of Management, with more than 5500 members.
With such a broad mission, and with such a large membership, it would be easy for our members to get lost in the crowd. That’s why the OB Division’s mantra is “making connections.” We want to create bridges across the boundaries that separate people with shared interests. Sure, it’s easy to make connections at the annual meeting, but what about the other 51 weeks of the year? When you can’t be physically connected with other Division members, OBWeb can keep you cyber-connected.
OBWeb is one way that you can make connections with the OB Division and its members. But it’s not the only way. The OB Division also maintains a listserve that provides a forum for members to post announcements, share questions, and engage in a dialogue about Organizational Behavior issues. (Want to sign up for the listserve? Just follow these simple instructions.)
Thanks for being part of the OB Division – the Division that makes connections!

Job Opportunities - 5 positions for postdoctoral researchers
Posted by Zukunftskolleg on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - 11:33 AM (188 Reads)
|
UNIVERSITY OF KONSTANZ
The University of Konstanz is one of the nine Universities of Excellence in the Federal Republic of Germany. The Zukunftskolleg is a central scientific institution of the University of Konstanz for the promotion of young scientists.
We are offering
5 Research Positions
(up to Salary Scale 14 TV-L)
in the fields of
a) foundations of social justice
b) mixed feelings
for the development and implementation of individual research projects / research groups. The initial appointments will commence on October 1, 2009, and end on March 31, 2011. An extension of the work contract for an additional 3.5 years will be financed by the Zukunftskolleg provided that substantial external funding for a research project has been granted.
The project outline should point out topical connections to the research profile of the University of Konstanz. The proposed project must be in one of the following research fields:
1. Foundations of social justice: In neoclassic economic theory, actors exclusively pursue their own individual interests, which raise questions about the foundations of altruism, collective rationality and social justice. From a philosophical and normative perspective, the resulting problems are still unsolved. New empirical impulses are provided by research that deals with the neuro- and socio-psychological foundations of human decisions and actions.
2. Mixed feelings: The interdisciplinary study of emotion, feeling and affect. Science’s view of emotion, feeling and affect has always been ambivalent, although they drive human action and inspire outstanding artistic and humanitarian achievements. Emotions have an individual cerebral basis but communicatory function. The many facets of emotional communication are reflected in society and the media, both of which are products of the human brain, and act back on it to shape it.
Information on Zukunftskolleg fellowships is available on our website: http://www.uni-konstanz.de/zukunftskolleg .
The full-length version of this announcement is available at: http://www-uni-konstanz.de/stellen
Applicants should send their application form, their project outline, a letter of motivation, application documents and a reading excerpt in English as a PDF file to: zukunftskolleg@uni-konstanz.de .
Deadline: May 31, 2009
