There's still time left for you or one of your students to register for the
2012 GDO doctoral consortium!
We have some room left to include advanced doctoral students with research interests in diversity in the 2012 Doctoral Consortium, which will be held on Saturday, August 4th as part of the pre-conference program at the AOM meeting in Boston. There will also be a happy-hour on Friday, August 3rd from 6:30 to 8:30 to kick-off the consortium.
This year, the consortium will include an exciting mix of panels and activities designed to provide doctoral students with a realistic job preview of pre-tenure careers, ideas for how to leverage teaching for research and manage service obligations, as well as advice from editors on how to navigate the publishing process. 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, and again in the afternoon for research roundtable discussions.
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 2012, with the intention of starting their faculty position in 2013.
The deadline for applying to participate is July 15, 2012, 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). Those interested should send an email to the chairs of the consortium: Drs. Lisa H. Nishii (lhn5@cornell.edu) and dt. ogilvie (dt@business.rutgers.edu) and include:
1) a short endorsement letter from their advisor;
2) statement of research interests and career goals, including a dissertation summary if possible; and
3) CV.
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! If you have any questions, please contact Lisa H. Nishii (lhn5@cornell.edu) or dt. ogilvie (dt@business.rutgers.edu). See you in Boston!!
