Call for Nominations
Nomination Deadline: April 30, 2023
We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will once again hold its Doctoral Student Consortium as part of the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. This year the consortium is tentatively scheduled on Friday August 4th, 2023. The consortium will be in person in Boston, MA.
The goal of this consortium is to orient doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations and management as they enter the final phase of their doctoral programs. It helps prepare them for the job market and plan future careers. We aim to help students make the most of their doctoral programs, advance and publish their research, find academic jobs, manage their early careers and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share research interests.
The consortium will include a combination of the following (all on August 4th, 2023):
1. Keynote/panels on career development, navigating job the market, and discussions with journal editors;
2. Live roundtable discussions around core research and teaching themes;
3. Networking opportunities with peers and faculty mentors, including Thursday 3 August optional dinner.
Close to 25 faculty members have confirmed their participation in this event. Many have been editors for leading journals and won prestigious research, teaching, and service awards. They represent a range of career levels and geographies and will provide diverse perspectives. Confirmed faculty mentors include:
• Shahzad Ansari, University of Cambridge
• Grace Augustine, University of Bath
• Marya Besharov, University of Oxford
• Silvia Dorado-Banacloche, UMass Boston
• JP Eggers, NYU
• Pablo Fernandez, IAE Business School
• Peer Fiss, USC Marshall
• Bryant Hudson, IESEG
• Rebecca Karp, Harvard
• Brayden King, Northwestern
• Michael Lounsbury, Alberta
• Namrata Malhotra, Imperial College
• Dalhia Mani, IIM Bangalore
• Amit Nigam, Bayes, UCL
• Paolo Quattrone, Manchester
• Aruna Ranganathan, UC Berkeley
• Jean-Phillipe Vergne, UCL
• Milo Wang, Arizona
• Filippo Carlo Wezel, USI Lugano
• Shipeng Yan, University of Hong Kong
• Mark Zbaracki, Ivey
• Tammar Zilber, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem
The consortium is designed to allow for high levels of faculty-student interaction. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium remains limited. Interested students must be nominated by their schools and must be OMT members (either already or by joining now).
Doctoral programs should limit their nominations to one applicant. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students should coordinate their nominations. Preference will be given to those students who have progressed to the dissertation stage and are either on, or considering being on, the job market in the coming year.
Nomination Instructions
Nominations should be submitted by the department representative who nominates the student via the following online form only (no email nominations, please): https://unsw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_37RpWbTjGONO9jU
As specified in the online form, nominations should include basic information about the nominated student (name, e-mail address and university affiliation) as well as: (1) a confirmation that the student is (or will become) a member of the OMT division; and (2) a confirmation that the student will complete doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams (or any equivalent milestone such as a proposal defense qualifying the student for the dissertation stage of the PhD) by August 1, 2023.
In addition, the following three supporting documents should be uploaded via the online form:
1. A brief letter from faculty advisor providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of the nominee's progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation;
2. The nominee's CV (including contact information, research and teaching interests, publications, and/or working papers);
3. A 3-5 pages summary of a research project on which the nominee would like to receive feedback.
Additional information about the OMT Doctoral Consortium will be available on the OMT website closer to the date of the event.
