Organization and Management Theory OMT

The OMT Division is pleased to announce the 2018 OMT Junior Faculty Consortium. If you have started a faculty position in the last few years, this workshop is for you!

The workshop provides an intimate forum for interacting with senior colleagues and peers to enable you to prosper in your academic career. The workshop focuses on: 

1) developing your research for publication with the help of seasoned scholars in your area

2) exploring strategies for impact and growth as a scholar and teacher

3) navigating the early years for a successful faculty career in diverse institutional settings

You will have a chance to interact with an exciting team of faculty mentors and diverse peers who provide developmental feedback on your research, benefit from interesting and relevant panels, participate in roundtable discussions and informal conversations and build potentially lifelong networks.

This year's faculty mentors offer diverse scholarly and geographic perspectives. Among them they have editorial boards/editors experience at leading journals, and won research and teaching awards.

Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to talk with exemplary scholars in small groups about techniques for high impact research and teaching as well as ethical considerations.

To facilitate close personal engagement, space for this workshop is limited and participation is by application only. We expect about 40 participants. If you hold a faculty position as an Assistant Professor or a comparable rank and your research focuses on OMT related topics, we encourage you to apply. We also invite deans, department chairs, former workshop alumni, and other faculty to encourage their junior colleagues to apply.

To apply, please email Tal Simons (t.simons@tilburguniversity.edu) and include the following information:

1) Your name, email address, telephone number, and institutional affiliation

2) Your curriculum vitae

3) An abstract or description of a working paper you wish to receive feedback on (5 pages maximum)

4) An indication of three faculty mentors' names who are of most interest to you

We encourage you to apply early to guarantee consideration. The deadline for applying is April 30, 2018.  Please note that there is a $150 registration fee for the workshop. We have some (limited) funds to provide assistance to participants for whom the fees constitute an obstacle to attending. If you believe this applies to you, please contact us as soon as possible.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact the organizers Tal Simons (t.simons@tilburguniversity.edu) and Joel Gehman (jgehman@ualberta.ca). 

We look forward to meeting you in August!
