Call for Nominations
Nomination Deadline: April 30, 2019
We are pleased to announce that the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) division will once again hold a Doctoral Student Consortium as part of the pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting. Designed just for OMT members, the goal of this consortium is to orient doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations and management as they enter the final phase of their doctoral programs. It helps prepare for the job market and plan future careers. We aim to help you make the most of your doctoral program, advance your research, consider how best to publish your research, find an academic job, manage your early career and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share similar research interests.
The consortium will include panel presentations, discussion sessions, opportunities for personal mentoring and teaching roundtables. Faculty participants include:

The consortium is designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited. Interested students must be nominated by their schools and must be OMT members (either already or by joining now).
Doctoral programs should limit their nominations to one applicant. Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students must coordinate their nominations. Preference will be given to those students who have progressed to the dissertation stage and are either on the job market or considering being on the job market in the coming year. The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2019.
