    No one might actually like it, but we all can't live without it either, and yet its inner workings are a deep mystery to many. Of course, we are referring to the academic job market! Navigating the job market for junior scholars can be challenging, even more so during a pandemic.

    Therefore, the Social Issues in Management (SIM) Division of the Academy of Management is organizing an online event on May 21st at 1500 CEST (2300 AEST; 1400 BST; 0900 EST) to help junior scholars in the broad field of social issues in management (e.g., business ethics, CSR, environment, governance, society, sustainability, etc.) to listen to experiences from recruiters and recruited candidates from different parts of the world.

    We have invited a panel of scholars from Recruiting Committees from around the world (Dror Etzion (McGill), Patrick Haack (HEC Lausanne), & Nardia Haigh (UMass Boston)) and a panel of recently recruited candidates (Celia Chui (HEC Montreal), Susana Esper (IESEG School of Management), & Jan Lodge (Cambridge, soon to join Rotterdam School of Management)) to discuss their experiences, share tips and tricks and answer your questions, for instance on teaching load, research support, or academic culture in the respective institutes.

    It is a chance to explore and understand the academic climate around the world by talking to scholars who have been involved in the recruitment process, from different sides of the table and in different regions of the world.

    The panel discussion will be via Zoom on May 21st at 1500 CEST, moderated by Frank de Bakker (IESEG School of Management) & Sebastian Hafenbrädl (IESE). Please pre-register for attending the event:
