Supervisor/Manager
JHU faculty carry a breadth of responsibilities over the course of their academic career. While you may have initially focused on teaching and research, it won’t be long before you develop a support team and take on responsibilities such as talent acquisition, employee relations, salary and compensation administration, payroll, organizational design, professional development, performance management, and more. The skills required to manage employees can differ significantly from those needed to manage a classroom or mentor students and new faculty. The L.A.D. Academy is dedicated to providing faculty with the tools to enhance your efficiency and effectiveness in the human resources management and supervisory aspects of your role.
