TIM Junior Faculty Consortium 2016
The Technology and Innovation Management Division of the Academy of Management is pleased to invite applications for the 2016 TIM Junior Faculty Consortium to be held at the Academy of Management meeting in Anaheim on August 5 and 6.
If you are early career (assistant professor or equivalent) and teach or conduct research in the TIM domain, this professional development workshop is for you. The workshop will provide insights that you need to thrive in the increasingly challenging academic environment. It focuses on strategies for building a career and increasing impact as a scholar and teacher.
The consortium will feature outstanding senior faculty members with proven research and teaching records, who will lead four 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 strategies for publishing in top journals, and engage with the editors of prestigious journals in the field. Most importantly, participants will receive feedback on their 'research trajectory' from their peers and senior faculty. The consortium will also provide participants with the opportunity for reflection and renewal, for networking with new peers and senior colleagues with interests in technology and innovation.
