Dear Colleagues

The Operations Management Division is proud to announce a joint Junior
Faculty and Doctoral Consortium at the an-nual Academy of Management (AoM)
conference in Boston, MA. This event will be held from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM
on Saturday, August 4, 2012. The AoM Conference is the premier venue for
empirically focused OM research.
Building on last year’s format, all participating junior faculty and
doctoral students are going to stay together through-out the day. A group
of more senior OM scholars will serve as faculty mentors, and the junior
faculty are also expected to share their experiences with the doctoral
students.
The joint consortium is primarily composed of two integrated sessions.
After a welcome breakfast, the morning session invites junior faculty to
present their research prospectus that may include a description of how
they are extending their dissertation research and starting new research
streams. The doctoral students are expected to ask questions and learn
about life after dissertation. After lunch, the afternoon session will
follow an intensive research incubator format. Students will present their
research proposals to a panel of senior and junior faculty which will
provide feedback and guidance on each proposal. All participating faculty
will be asked to read student proposals in advance.
Doctoral students and junior faculty doing research on any Operations
Management topic may participate. However, note that space is limited.
Preference will be given to students and junior faculty employing
empirical research tech-niques. Students who have attended other doctoral
consortia find this consortium uniquely beneficial due to its sole and
intensive focus on developing research. In this format, junior faculty are
put in a unique position of receiving advice from senior faculty as well
as acting as mentors for doctoral students.
The junior faculty Coordinator is Joseph Sarkis (
jsarkis@clarku.edu) and
the Coordinator for the doctoral students is Antti Tenhiala
(
antti.tenhiala@ie.edu). If you are interested in participating to the
Joint Junior Faculty and Doctoral Consortium you need to send your
application by e-mail to the relevant coordinator before May 15th, 2012.
Applications will be acknowledged via email by June 1st.
We ask applicants to submit: (i) a vita, (ii) full contact information,
(iii) advisor’s contact information (doctoral students only), (iv) a one-
sentence statement on your stage in the doctoral program (doctoral
students only), (v) a one-page summary of your dissertation research
(doctoral students only), and (vi) a one-page research prospectus (junior
faculty only).
Interested Senior Faculty interested in mentoring please contact either
coordinator.
