Who?

DIR welcomes junior faculty who are in their first three years on the job, post-docs, and doctoral students who are in their final two years.

The PDW is broken into a virtual and in-person component to support junior scholars as they contemplate their market/career opportunities in 2025 and beyond.

The in-person session in Copenhagen (open to all, no registration required) will feature stories about how prominent scholars forged their paths, advice on how to best navigate your own, and networking opportunities among colleagues with similar goals. The topic of the 13th DIR is “building and sustaining relationships in academia.” The session will feature two panels focused on this topic comprised of: Laura Sonday (UNC), Jen Petriglieri (INSEAD), Alyson Meister (IMD), Jordan Nielsen (Purdue), Ashley Hardin (Wash. U. St Louis), and Chris Barnes (NUS).

Personalized Feedback Sessions (registration required): Registrants will be paired with an influential scholar and 2-3 other registrants for a friendly chat and feedback on their individual portfolios. These personalized sessions may be held in Copenhagen or virtually before or after the conference at the convenience of the facilitating scholar and their designated registrants. Participants who complete this session receive an MOC division “Bright Diamonds” certificate. Registration link: (click here)
