2013 OM Division Joint Junior Faculty and Doctoral Consortium
The Operations Management Division is proud to announce a joint Junior Faculty and
Doctoral Consortium at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management (AoM) in
Orlando, FL. This event will be held from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 10,
2012. The AoM Conference is the premier venue for empirically focused OM research.
Building on previous years' format, all participating junior faculty and doctoral students
are going to stay together throughout 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
describing how they are extending their dissertation research and/or 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 who will provide feedback and guidance on each proposal.
Doctoral students and junior faculty doing research on any Operations Management topic
may participate. However, preference will be given to students and junior faculty
employing empirical research techniques. Students who have attended other doctoral
consortia find this consortium uniquely beneficial due to its 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 consortium coordinators are Antony Paulraj (
ap@sam.sdu.dk), for the junior faculty,
and Antti Tenhi?l? (
antti.tenhiala@ie.edu), for the doctoral students. If you are interested
in attending the Joint Junior Faculty and Doctoral Consortium, you need to send your
application by e-mail to the relevant coordinator by April 15, 2013. Applications will be
acknowledged via email by May 15.
The applications should include: (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).
Doctoral students should also indicate whether they apply for a travel grant from the OM
Division Student Assistance Fund. (If interested, see the details in the attached document
or in the consortium information link at
http://om.aomonline.org/.)
All senior faculty interested in mentoring please contact either coordinator.
