Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the OB Division, we have a broader array of doctoral programming this year that has been specifically designed to support students as they prepare for the academic job market and to help foster connections among cohorts. Beyond hosting our annual OB Doctoral Consortium on the Saturday of AOM, we wanted to offer doctoral students who are on/approaching the market additional opportunities to learn from experts and recent grads. Please see below details for a job market prep PDW that will be on the Sunday of AOM in Boston. Interested students should register by July 15.
See you in Boston,
Beth

We got by with a little help: Perspectives on the academic job market.
Sunday, August 6th, 2023; 9:00AM - 12:00PM ET
Sheraton Boston Hotel in Commonwealth
My talented co-organizer, Daniya Kamran-Morley (U. of Pittsburgh), and I have specifically tailored the event to help students going into the final or penultimate year of their graduate programs. Though, we welcome all students who have completed their coursework and are eager to learn more about the job market. (We also welcome attendees of the OB Doctoral Consortium. We have coordinated with consortium organizers, Beth Campbell and Margaret Luciano, to ensure that our content is complementary, builds from things discussed in Consortium, and does not pose scheduling conflicts.)
If interested, please register by completing this brief survey before 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) July 15th, 2023: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiUUkTQpbQJ_1rEsM91Awz8ex7dD1t9W8kQJ8TYy-zk0DiaQ/viewform
If you have any questions, please reach out to me, Ray Wu (i-hengwu@southalabama.edu) or Daniya (DAK173@pitt.edu). We hope that you or your students will benefit from our session and the advice of many of its thoughtful and generous contributors. More detailed information on the format and contributors is below.
Best regards,
Ray (and Daniya)
