IACMR 2018 Conference, Wuhan
MACRO-TRACK JUNIOR FACULTY CONSORTIUM
Call for Applications
Application Deadline: April 20th, 2018
We are pleased to announce that the IACMR will hold a Strategy/OT/IB/ENT Junior Faculty Consortium at the 2018 Conference in Wuhan. If you have started a macro-track faculty position in the last few years, this consortium is for you! The consortium provides an intimate forum for interacting with senior colleagues and peers, enabling you to prosper in your academic career. More specifically, attending this consortium will help you:
1) Develop research projects for publication. Two seasoned scholars in your area will provide one-on-one feedback on your research project. You will also receive feedback from your peers during roundtable discussions.
2) Explore strategies for impact and growth as a scholar and teacher. A distinguished panel of established scholars will share their insights with you in an interactive panel discussion.
3) Navigate the early years for a successful faculty career in diverse institutional settings. Leaders of our major professional organizations and a diverse set of institutions will share their knowledge with you in a dynamic panel discussion.
4) Build and develop potentially lifelong professional networks. The consortium provides opportunities for you to interact with faculty mentors in casual settings such as during breakfast and break time.
This year's faculty mentors offer diverse scholarly and geographic perspectives. Many have been editors for leading journals and won research and teaching awards. They include:

We encourage you to apply early to guarantee consideration. The deadline for applying is April 20th, 2018 and you will be notified by the middle of May regarding your application status. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact the organizers. We look forward to seeing you at the IACMR conference in Wuhan!
