TIM Jr Faculty Consortium - Call for Applications
(Deadline for Applications is May 15, 2013)
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management is pleased to invite applications for the 2013 TIM Junior Faculty Consortium to be held at the Academy of Management meeting in Orlando (Florida) on Friday, August 9th and Saturday, August 10th, 2013.
If you are an early career academic (assistant professor or its equivalent) and teach or research in the TIM domain, this professional development workshop is for you. The workshop will provide you with insights that you need to thrive in the increasingly challenging academic environment. It focuses on strategies for impact as a scholar and teacher, as well as on building a career in diverse professional settings.
The consortium will feature outstanding senior faculty members with proven records of research and teaching, who lead interactive discussions about how to balance the competing pressures of teaching, research and service. They will provide first-hand and detailed advice about how to build a successful academic career in a range of different institutional settings. Participants will also learn about publishing in top journals, meet the editors of prestigious journals in the field, and receive developmental feedback on their working papers from their peers and senior faculty. The consortium will also provide participants with the opportunity for reflection and renewal, for networking with friends and colleagues, and for meeting new peers and senior colleagues with shared interests. This year we will also include a discussion of professional ethics in academia.
The senior faculty members thus far committed to the consortium include:
Rajshree Agarwal (U. Maryland), Mary Benner (U. Minnesota), Janet Bercovitz (U. Illinois), Stefano Brusoni (ETH Zurich), Michelle Gittelman (Rutgers U.)
Marc Gruber (EPFL Lausanne), Joachim Henkel (TU Munich), Karim Lakhani (Harvard U.), Francisco Polidoro (U. Texas Austin), Jasjit Singh (INSEAD), Deepak Somaya (U. Illinois)
