2009 OMT/MOC Doctoral Student Consortium August 6-7, 2009
Call for Applications (Deadline: May 15, 2009)
The Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division and the Management
and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division are pleased to announce that
their joint Doctoral Student Consortium will once again be part of the
pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting.
The goal of this consortium is to help doctoral students who are broadly
interested in organizations, management, and cognition to organize their
thoughts about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their
research, publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the
academic or professional world, and, perhaps most importantly, establish
professional networks with colleagues who share similar research
interests. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for
this consortium is strictly limited.
The consortium will include a variety of presentations, interactive
discussion sessions, and workshops. It has been designed to allow for
high levels of interaction between faculty and students. The deadline
for nominations is May 15, 2009.
Interested students must be nominated by their schools. No university
can nominate more than two students, and each doctoral program is
limited to one nomination. Universities with multiple departments
seeking to send students need to coordinate their nominations.
Applications should be emailed to consortium organizers (see email
addresses below) by the department representative who nominates the
student and should include the following in the body of the email:
the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers,
name of affiliated school and university,
the division (OMT or MOC) that the student considers to be his/her
primary affiliation, and
a statement from the department certifying the nominee's completion of
doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams by August 1, 2008.
Three supporting items should be attached 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
(3) a 3-5 page summary of the student's research project.
Additional information about the OMT/MOC Doctoral Consortium is
available on both the OMT and MOC Websites. If you have questions or
concerns, feel free to contact either of us:
