Biography
Prior to joining St Andrews in 2012, Dr Baluch worked as a Lecturer at the Leibniz Universitaet Hannover in Germany at the Institute of HRM where she received her PhD (summa cum laude) from the Faculty of Economics and Management. As convener of the undergraduate programme in nonprofit and public management, she has taught about HRM, organisational change and learning in voluntary and public organisations. Her doctoral research in this area was recently published as a book in the Routledge Studies in the Management of Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations.
From 2009-2011, she was a co-investigator of a research project on "The Contribution of HRM to Effectiveness and Efficiency in Nonprofit Organisations" which was funded by the Ministry of Science and Culture in Lower Saxony, Germany. Dr Baluch has served on the board and committees of voluntary organisations in the fields of health and social services as well as sports. She holds memberships with the Academy of Management, Association for Research on Nonprofits and Voluntary Action, International Research Society for Public Management and the European Group for Organizational Studies.
She was awarded an MA in European Studies from the Leibniz Universtitaet Hannover and a BA in History (high distinction) from the University of Virginia. She has received various scholarships (German Academic Exchange Service, EU Commission) to study abroad and would be happy to speak to any students interested in studying in Germany.
