If you are an advanced doctoral student with research interests in
diversity, you will not want to miss the 2013 Doctoral Consortium, which
will be held on Saturday, August 10th as part of the pre-conference program
at the AOM meeting in Orlando, Florida.
This year, the consortium will include an exciting mix of panels and
activities designed to provide doctoral students with a realistic preview
of balancing work and family, ideas for how to leverage research through
grant writing, managing service obligations, as well as advice for
conducting high quality diversity research. 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
2013, with the intention of starting their faculty position in 2014.
The deadline for applying to participate is July 15, 2013, 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. Caren Goldberg (
careng@american.edu) and
Orlando Richard (
orlando.richard@utdallas.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) 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 Orlando, Florida!!
