    HR DIVISION LATE-STAGE DOCTORAL STUDENT CONSORTIUM 

    We are currently taking applications for the 2018 HR Division Doctoral Student Consortium (Dissertation Level), which will be held on Friday, August 10 and Saturday, August 11 at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Chicago. 

    Highlights include: 
    * A dinner and networking event on Friday, August 10 fully sponsored by the HR Division. 
    * A keynote address by Sara L. Rynes, University of Iowa. 
    * A dissertation roundtable with one-on-one feedback from leading scholars in the field of HR. 
    * A variety of panels and discussions about surviving the dissertation process, getting published, effective teaching, managing the job search, and succeeding in an academic career around the globe. 
    * A panel meeting with the major journal editors. 

    The HR Doctoral Student Consortium is open to doctoral students actively working on their dissertations. Is it expected that applicants will (1) be members of the HR Division; (2) be on track to have completed all required coursework; and (3) be on track to have their proposal for their dissertation/thesis approved by their supervising committee by Wednesday, August 1. Unfortunately we cannot accept applicants that have already completed their PhD. There is no charge for the Consortium, but pre-registration is required. Accepted candidates will be given a code necessary for the pre-registration. 

    Application Process: 
    Pre-registration is required. Email the following materials to Stephen Courtright (scourtright@mays.tamu.edu) by Friday, June 15: 
    * A nomination form endorsed and signed by the candidate's doctoral program coordinator (or equivalent). The form may be found at https://goo.gl/u7i3hV. 
    * A current student CV (up to two pages) including contact information, education, research/teaching interests, publications, and conference presentations for distribution to all participants. 

    Please note: The Consortium is intended for student members of the HR Division who have made significant progress toward completing their doctoral program but have not yet defended their dissertation. Because space is limited, only one student per program is typically allowed to participate, but one additional qualified student from a given program may be accepted upon the request of a candidate's doctoral program coordinator. On-line registration through the Academy of Management website is only allowed for those students whose applications have been accepted and given a registration code. Thus, drop-in attendance at the Consortium is not allowed. We hope you join us for this educational and fun experience for emerging HR scholars!

    Please contact any of the organizers of the consortium (see below) should you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in August!
