2008 OB Doctoral Student Consortium
Call for Nominations - 2008 OB Doctoral Student Consortium - AUGUST 8-10The OB doctoral consortium will be part of the pre-conference program at the 2008 Academy of Management meeting in Anaheim. The consortium includes an interesting and energetic mix of presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions designed to launch doctoral students on their academic careers. Topics include landing a job, getting published, teaching effectiveness, and work-life balance.
The deadline for receipt of nominations and supporting materials is May 15, 2008.
To apply, interested students must be nominated by their schools. No university can nominate more than four students, and each doctoral program within a university is limited to two nominations (e.g., two from the business school and two from the I/O program).
In making the decision to accept students, preference is given to those who have made the most progress toward completing their Ph.D. program but have not yet defended their dissertation.
Applications should be sent by the university department that nominates the student and should include in the body of the email:
* The nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers,
* Name of affiliated school and university, and
* A statement certifying the nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams by August 1, 2008
Three attachments to the e-mail are requested:
* A letter from a faculty member providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation, and
* A one-page bio summarizing the nominee's contact information, research and teaching interests, and publications.
* A 1-2 page description of the nominee's dissertation idea/methodology and progress on the dissertation.
