MIT Institute For Work And Employment Research (IWER)

The MIT Institute for Work and Employment Research (IWER) is a multidisciplinary research and teaching unit that is located within the MIT Sloan School of Management and has run its own PhD program since 1937. IWER’s mission is to conduct and disseminate cutting-edge research that improves the lives of workers and their loved ones and that guides managers in crafting a successful and inclusive future of work. IWER has long played a leadership role in influencing scholarship and practice related to work, labor and employment relations, diversity in the workplace, technology and analytics, and larger questions of inequality. IWER is a highly collaborative hub for the study of work and employment, and IWER’s PhD program and weekly seminars attract researchers from around the world.
