Ph.D. in Industrial Relations and Human Resources IRHR

Welcome

The Ph.D. in Industrial Relations and Human Resources (IRHR) is an interdisciplinary program designed for PHDpeople who want to:

  • study the world of work in our dynamic global economy, including how employment relationships affect organizations, workers, and society;
  • work with leading scholars who are nationally and internationally recognized experts in a broad range of topics in industrial relations and human resources; and
  • become leading scholars themselves.

Students learn how to design, conduct, and publish rigorous research in scholarly journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Industrial Relations, and Journal of Applied Psychology, among others.  Students also develop their teaching skills by working as teaching assistants and teaching their own courses.

Our goal is to qualify students for employment as college or university faculty, or for other research positions. You can see where our graduates are employed, and learn about their research interests and accomplishments, by clicking on the “Our Alumni” button.  Click on “Our Students” to learn about our current students, and on “Our Faculty” to see the research interests and accomplishments of our diverse and distinguished Ph.D. faculty. 

Rutgers Ph.D. students can take doctoral courses at Princeton, Columbia, NYU, CUNY, Fordham, New School, or Stony Brook as part of their studies, through the Inter-University Consortium in which Rutgers participates.  Our program also participates in a new consortium of industrial relations and human resources programs with M.I.T., Cornell, Michigan State, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and University of Minnesota in which students can take joint videoconference classes from leading scholars in each institution.
