Navigating Academic Job Markets Across Regions

A three-part professional development series for scholars interested in academic careers beyond their current national or institutional context.

This series brings together scholars interested in academic careers in a new national, cultural, or institutional context. Three regional workshops — Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific — each combine a moderated panel with country-specific roundtables.

Each workshop offers practical, first-hand insight into hiring processes, career paths, evaluation and promotion criteria, and the institutional cultures of the region — including the tacit knowledge and unspoken rules that applicants should be aware of.

The two online sessions are open for registration below. The Asia Pacific session is the in-person capstone at the AOM Annual Meeting and requires no registration.
