ADVANCE CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
2014 Doctoral Student
Professional Development Consortium
Public & Nonprofit Division
If you are a doctoral student with aspirations to research and teach in public or nonprofit management, consider applying to the Doctoral Student Professional Development Consortium of the Public and Nonprofit (PNP) Division of the Academy of Management (AoM). The Doctoral Consortium is an unparalleled opportunity to (a) get tips on finding an academic job; (b) present your existing research or proposal and obtain feedback from senior scholars; and (c) network among peers, future colleagues, and potential employers. The Doctoral Consortium takes place on Saturday, August 2, 2014.
This call is an advance call to enable you to be listed in the AoM Meeting program. If you are interested in attending the Doctoral Consortium, please consider submitting a one to three page research proposal or abstract of a research paper by February 7, 2014 by 5:00pm ET. If you have decided on a dissertation topic, submit a short synopsis of the dissertation. If you have not yet articulated a dissertation topic, briefly outline a potential research project that could be shaped into a dissertation. Doctoral students at any stage are welcome to apply to the consortium, and the consortium is especially beneficial for students who are in the dissertation proposal development stage or later. As part of the Doctoral Consortium, students will have an opportunity to present their research proposals or current projects to faculty members in the field.
To submit a proposal, please submit your proposal/abstract using the link below.
PNP Doctoral Consortium Application
If accepted, submitting your abstract to the Doctoral Consortium Co-Chairs by February 7th will ensure that your name appears in the conference program as a participant in the Doctoral Consortium. Some universities, departments or other funders may require proof of participation before funding conference travel, and depending on your organization's requirements, this listing could serve as that proof.
Students accepted to participate in the Consortium must register for the conference. However, there is no additional charge to participate in the Doctoral Consortium. Slots in the Doctoral Consortium are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please direct questions to the PNP Doctoral Consortium Co-Chairs, Chris Silvia at chris.silvia@byu.edu and Russell S. Hassan at hassan.125@osu.edu.
