Post-doc positions in management can be a critical stepping-stone for academic positions. Notably, an increasing number of successful management scholars are starting their careers in post-doc positions. However, the conversation about post-docs is mostly absent from The Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting. This PDW seeks to provide an essential opportunity for Ph.D. students to learn more about such positions. It can also benefit current post-docs by creating a community through building connections. Specifically, this PDW is designed to help Ph.D. students who are considering (or starting) a post-doc position as well as current post-docs. It is intended to provide informal career advice from a diverse set of academic scholars on how to be successful during, and after, a post-doc position. Notably, this PDW will address three main questions: (1) What are the long-term career benefits of post-doc positions? (2) What does it mean to be successful as a post-doc, including being productive and becoming well-positioned to find an academic job? and (3) How can Ph.D. students obtain post-doc positions? All invited presenters have previously held or currently hold academic post-doc positions. They also represent a diverse set of career stages, geographic locations, research interests, academic institutions, and therefore are well-positioned to provide a rich set of perspectives on post-doc positions and beyond.
