    Academy of Management

    Gender and Diversity in Organization Division's

    2015 Doctoral Consortium

     

     

    Now is the time for you or one of your students to register for the 2015 GDO doctoral consortium!

     

    If you are an advanced doctoral student with research interests in Diversity and/or Gender, you will not want to miss the 2015 Doctoral Consortium. This is a day-long event to be held on Saturday, August 8, 2015, as part of the pre-conference program at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. 

    This year's consortium includes an exciting mix of panels and activities designed to provide doctoral students with GDO interests with a realistic preview of an academic career, advice from journal editors, tips on fostering collaborations, and suggestions for teaching.  Participants will hear from a stellar lineup of scholars from all over the world. We will also be providing doctoral students with a unique and invaluable opportunity - using information that registrants provide to us about their research interests, we will be matching them with senior scholars for a one-on-one mentor lunch.

     

    Applicants must meet the following criteria to participate: 1) Be endorsed by their advisor; and 2) Have made significant progress toward completing their Ph.D. (and are ideally working on their dissertation). Preference will be given to advanced students who are applying for jobs in the fall of 2015, with the intention of starting their faculty position in 2016.

     

    The deadline for applying to participate is July 10, 2015, although we will utilize a rolling admissions process and therefore encourage doctoral students to apply as soon as possible to secure a spot (space will be limited to 20 students). As some schools base funding availability on acceptance to the consortium, we encourage students whose funding is uncertain to apply before the deadline to ensure full consideration and a prompt notification of acceptance. 

     

    Those interested should send an email to the chairs of the consortium: Drs. Charlotte M. Karam (charlotte.karam@aub.edu.lb) and Caren Goldberg (caren.goldberg@yahoo.com) and include:

     

    1) a short endorsement letter from an academic advisor

    2) a statement of research interests and career goals, including a dissertation summary if possible

    3) a curriculum vitae

     

    Once accepted to participate, registrants will receive a link to a short online survey designed to collect additional information that will be used to customize the consortium to participants' needs and interests as much as possible.

     

    We look forward to hearing from you!  See you in Vancouver, British Columbia!!
