Organizational Behavior Doctoral Consortium

  • 1.  Organizational Behavior Doctoral Consortium

    Posted 05-03-2013 09:59

    Are you or one of your students interested in attending the Organizational Behavior Doctoral Consortium at the 2013 Academy of Management conference? The consortium will be held on August 9 (4:00-7:00 pm) and 10 (8:00 am – 5:30 pm) and is for doctoral students in the final stages of their programs who will be applying for jobs in 2013. The program will include faculty presentations and roundtable sessions on topics such as crafting the right academic job, succeeding at research and publishing, preparing for effective teaching, and managing work-life issues in the context of an academic career, as well as other related topics.

     

    OB is the largest division in the Academy and in the past few years, we have received more applications than we can accommodate. To keep the faculty-participant ratio to an optimal size, we will accept only 1 student per program (e.g., one from management, one from industrial relations, and/or one from I/O Psychology).

     

    Applicants must meet the following criteria.

    1. Be nominated by the program/department. Only one application per program will be accepted.
    2. Be endorsed by their advisor.
    3. Preference is given to those who have made the most progress toward completing their Ph.D. program but have not yet defended their dissertation. Applicants will typically be on the job market in fall 2013. 

    Nomination Requirements: A completed nomination will include four documents:

    1. Nominee information (one-page form)
    2. The nominee's one page vita/bio in PDF format (longer documents may be rejected). Please name the file with your last name followed by vita (e.g., Colbert Vita.pdf).
    3. The nominee's one page dissertation summary in PDF format (title and abstract is fine; longer summaries may be rejected). Please name the file with your last name followed by dissertation (e.g., Colbert Dissertation.pdf).
    4. Advisor/program chair endorsement (one page form)

    For application materials, go to http://obweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=11&Itemid=53

    The completed nomination should be submitted by the nominating department/school, via email, to Amy Colbert,     amy-colbert@uiowa.edu

     

    Application deadline: Friday, May 17, 2013 (5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time)

     

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

     

    Thanks!
