______________________________
2017 OMT Doctoral Student Consortium
Academy of Management Annual Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia
August 4, 2017
Call for Applications
Deadline: April 30, 2017
We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will once again hold a Doctoral Student Consortium as part of the pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting. Designed just for OMT members, the goal of this consortium is to help doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations and management as they enter the final phase of their doctoral programs and prepare for the job market and future careers.
We aim to help you make the most of your doctoral program, advance your research, consider how best to publish your research, find a job in the academic or professional world, manage your early career and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share similar research interests.
The consortium includes panel presentations, discussion sessions, and workshops aimed at these goals. It has been designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. We have a group of distinguished faculty participants from different career stages and countries, these including:
• John Almandoz, IESE Business School
• Shaz Ansari, University of Cambridge
• Joe Broschak, University of Arizona
• Joep Cornelissen, Erasmus University
• Tina Dacin, Queen's University
• Gina Dokko, University of California, Davis
• Stine Grodal, Boston University
• Tim Hannigan, University of Alberta
• Derek Harmon, University of Michigan
• Helen Haugh, University of Cambridge
• Bob Hinings, University of Alberta
• Aparna Joshi, Penn State
• Julien Jourdan, Paris Dauphine University
• Mark Kennedy, Imperial College
• Adam Kleinbaum, Dartmouth College
• Leung Ming, University of California, Berkeley
• Aharon Cohen Mohliver, London Business School
• David Obstfeld, California State University, Fullerton
• James Oldroyd, Brigham Young University
• Aruna Ranganathan, Stanford University
• Juliane Reinecke, University of Warwick
• Michelle Rogan, INSEAD
• Oliver Schilke, University of Arizona
• Michael Smets, University of Oxford
• Tammar Zilber, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited, and interested students must be nominated by their schools and must be OMT members (either already or by joining now). Due to space constraints, doctoral programs should nominate one applicant. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students are advised to coordinate their nominations. Preference will be given to those students who have progressed to the dissertation stage and are either on the job market or considering being on the job market in the coming year. The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2017.
Applications should be e-mailed by the department representative who nominates the student to the two consortium organizers listed below. Please include the following information in the body of the e-mail:
• the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers,
• name of affiliated school and university,
• confirmation that the student is a member of the OMT division, and
• a statement from the department certifying the nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams (or equivalent) by August 1, 2017.
Please attach three supporting items to the e-mail:
1. a brief letter from a faculty member providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation;
2. a 1 page bio summarizing the nominee's contact information, research and teaching interests, and publications; and/or working papers;
3. a 3-5 page summary of the student's research project on which they would like to receive feedback.
Students selected to attend the Consortium will be informed personally.
If you have questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the OMT Doctoral Consortium organizers Nina Granqvist nina.granqvist@aalto.fi and Jo-Ellen Pozner jpozner@scu.edu.
Please note that the Doctoral Consortium begins with an opening reception dinner on the prior evening of Thursday August 3, and ends on the afternoon of Friday August 4, 2017.
We look forward to seeing you at the AOM in Atlanta!
