Diamonds in the Rough PDW
Are you or do you know a junior faculty member, post-doc or senior doctoral student who could benefit from a PDW on academic careers? Diamonds in the Rough (DIR) is a part of the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division's "in the rough" PDW series and is focused on turning academic careers into gems. At DIR, budding scholars receive advice from top scholars on developing their research stream, avoiding career pitfalls, and excelling in academic careers. This is a great opportunity for both getting personalized advice and expanding one's network of junior and senior scholars.
