Academy of Management Junior Faculty Consortium Call for Participation

The OCIS Division will sponsor a Junior Faculty Consortium on Friday 9 August 2013, prior to the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Lake Buena Vista, FL.

The purpose of the Workshop is to explore strategies and helpful practices for developing successful academic careers. Over the years, the OCIS Junior Faculty Workshops have played a very important role in helping hundreds of individuals develop their careers and build professional relationships. This year’s topics include publication quality and quantity, tenure and promotion, work-life balance and developing and fostering professional relationships and other topics of interest to participants.

The faculty counsellors for the 2013 Junior Faculty Consortium are:

Kevin Crowston, Syracuse University and National Science Foundation
Janet Fulk, University of Southern California
Ojelanki Ngwenyama, Ryerson University
Samer Faraj, McGill University
Michael Barrett, University of Cambridge

All untenured faculty with an interest in OCIS are invited to participate, so please make plans to attend. Pre-registration for the Consortium will be required. To register, go to the Academy of Management website at https://secure.aomonline.org/PDWReg. Registration will open towards the end of April 2013. Space is limited.

In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Consortium or suggestions about topics you would like to see covered, please feel free to contact me (crowston@syr.edu).
