Call for Nominations
Nomination Deadline: April 30, 2025
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, July 25, 2025. The consortium will be in person in Copenhagen.
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 July 25, 2025):
- Keynote and panels on career development, navigating job the market, and discussions with journal editors;
- Live roundtable discussions around core research and teaching themes;
- Networking opportunities with peers and faculty mentors, including Thursday, July 24, 2025 optional dinner.
Over 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.

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. Please share this with the doctoral students you know and mentor.
Nomination Instructions
Nominations should be submitted by the department representative who nominates the student via the following online form only (no email nominations, please):
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 July 1, 2025.
In addition, the following three supporting documents should be uploaded via the online form: https://vueconomics.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aX0WCep4EYgmCJE
