2012 OMT/MOC Doctoral Student Consortium Academy of Management Annual Meeting Boston, August 3-7, 2012 Call for Applications (Deadline: May 15, 2012) The Organization and Management Theory (OMT) and the Management and Organizational Cognition (MOC) divisions are pleased to announce that their joint Doctoral Student Consortium will once again be part of the pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting. The goal of this consortium is to help doctoral students who are broadly interested in organizations, management, and cognition to organize their thoughts about the final phase of their doctoral programs, advance their research, publish their dissertation or parts thereof, find a job in the academic or professional world, and, perhaps most importantly, establish professional networks with colleagues who share similar research interests. The consortium will include a variety of presentations, interactive discussion sessions, and workshops aimed at these goals. It has been designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. Faculty participating in this year's Consortium are: * Julie Battilana (Harvard University) * Eva Boxenbaum (MINES ParisTech) * Shelley Brickson (U. of Illinois Chicago) * Jason Davis (MIT) * Jerry Davis (University of Michigan) * Rodolphe Durand (HEC Paris) * Hillary Anger Elfenbein (Washington U. in Saint Louis) * Frances Fabian (University of Memphis) * Colin Fischer (Boston University) * Peer Fiss (U. of Southern California) * Mary Ann Glynn (Boston College) * Stine Grodal (Boston University) * Spencer Harrison (Boston College) * Pursey Heugens (Rotterdam U.) * Tanya Menon (Northwestern U.) * Renate Meyer (Vienna U. of Econ. and Business) * Philippe Monin (EM Lyon) * Louise Mors (LBS) * Chris Rider (Emory University) * Wesley Sine (Cornell University) * Wendy Smith (U. of Delaware) * Marco Tortoriello (IESE) * Tammar Zilber (Hebrew U. of Jerusalem) In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited. Interested students must be nominated by their schools. Due to space constraints, doctoral programs should nominate one applicant (maximum two candidates per school can attend). Universities with multiple departments seeking to send students need to coordinate their nominations. Preference will be given to those students who have progressed to the dissertation stage and are either on the job market or considering being on the job market in the coming year. The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2012. Applications should be e-mailed by the department representative who nominates the student to the two consortium organizers listed below. It should include the following in the body of the e-mail: * the nominee's name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, name of affiliated school and university, the division (OMT or MOC) that the student considers to be his/her primary affiliation, and * a statement from the department certifying the nominee's completion of doctoral coursework and comprehensive exams (or equivalent) by August 1, 2012. Three supporting items should be attached to the e-mail: 1. a brief letter from a faculty member providing a general appraisal of the nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of dissertation; 2. a 1 page bio summarizing the nominee's contact information, research and teaching interests, and publications; and 3. a 3-5 page summary of the student's research project. Students selected to attend the Consortium will be sent a registration code that will allow them to register online. Additional information about the OMT/MOC Doctoral Consortium is available on the OMT and MOC websites and on the 2012 OMT/MOC Doctoral Consortium website:
