Organizational Behavior Doctoral Consortium, Friday, Aug. 6 - Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010
Deadline for Nominations: May 21, 2010
The Organizational Behavior Doctoral Consortium is designed for students in their final year of studies. It consists of an interesting and energetic mix of presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions designed to launch doctoral students into their academic careers. The consortium will begin on Friday afternoon at 4 pm, and will continue throughout the day on Saturday (8 am-5pm). Participants are expected to attend all of the consortium sessions. The program will include faculty presentations and roundtable sessions on topics such as crafting the right academic job, succeeding at research and publishing, preparing for effective teaching, and managing work-life balance, as well as an interactive session based on participants' interests.
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). Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students should coordinate their nominations. Please use the provided nomination form. To keep the faculty-participant ratio to an optimal size, the number of participants will be limited. This has been a popular program, so apply early!
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. Schools are therefore encouraged to nominate students in their final year of studies who are working on their dissertation research and entering the job market (e.g., in the US, students would typically be in their fourth or fifth year having defended their dissertation proposal; International students would be writing up their findings and defending their thesis in the near future).
