    The OMT Doctoral Consortium is intentionally designed to foster meaningful faculty–student interaction. To ensure a high-quality experience, participation is limited.

    Students must be nominated by their doctoral programs and be members of the OMT Division (either currently or by joining now). Each doctoral program may nominate only one student. If a university has multiple departments interested in nominating, they should coordinate internally.

    Priority will be given to students who are at the dissertation stage and planning to enter the academic job market in the coming year.

    Nomination Instructions

    How to Nominate a Student

    Nominations must be submitted by a department representative using the online nomination form by May 9, 2025 (email nominations will not be accepted). Each doctoral program may nominate only one student.

    The form will ask for:

    • The student's name, email address, and university affiliation
    • A confirmation that the student is or will become an OMT Division member
    • A confirmation that the student will have completed all doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams (or an equivalent milestone, such as a dissertation proposal defense) 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

    1.      A brief letter from a 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 page 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.

    If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact the OMT Doctoral Consortium organizer:
