  • 1.  Call for Applications: OMT Junior Faculty Consortium Due April 30th

    Posted 23 days ago

    We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will once again host its Junior Faculty Consortium as part of the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. This year, the consortium is scheduled on Friday, July 25th, 2025. The consortium will be in person in Copenhagen.

    If you have started a faculty position within the last few years, this consortium is designed for you! The consortium will provide an intimate forum for interacting with senior colleagues and peers about how to thrive in academia. 

    The program will feature a combination of feedback sessions, panels, and facilitated discussions on four key topics:

    1. Developing your research for publication with guidance from seasoned scholars in your area. 

    2. Strategies for impact and growth as a researcher and educator. 

    3. Navigating the early years of a faculty career in diverse institutional settings. 

    4. Preparing for promotion and tenure (e.g., building relationships with letter writers, managing professional networks, and crafting a compelling research narrative).

    Additionally, we are planning a social event on the evening of Thursday, July 24, 2025, which will provide an opportunity to connect with fellow participants and mentors in a more informal setting.

    We are pleased to share that close to 30 faculty mentors have confirmed their participation.
