2021 SHETH/AIB DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

Event Date: Sunday, June 27, 2021
Extended Application Deadline: May 1, 2021

Want to learn how to make a successful transition from defending your dissertation to entering the academic job market and launching your career?

Great news! The application deadline for our Sheth/AIB Doctoral Consortium has been extended to May 1. That means there's still time to get the guidance you need—yet another great perk for participating in our 2021 Annual Meeting. 

Eligibility and application requirements are detailed below. Questions can be addressed to our consortium co-organizers, Danqing Wang and Desislava Dikova.

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?

The most suitable candidates for the Consortium are Ph.D. students in international business who have completed their course work, are in the dissertation stage of their programs, and have a relatively clear idea about their dissertation research.

Selection criteria will also include research potential of the dissertation topic and contribution to the disciplinary and geographical diversity of representation.

HOW CAN I APPLY?

All of the required application materials listed below must be submitted via email to [log in to unmask] by May 1, 2021: 

1. Letter of nomination from faculty advisor: The letter should discuss the progress of the student in the program and his/her academic performance and potential. It should state clearly whether the applicant has defended or is expected to defend his/her dissertation proposal. If the student is enrolled in a doctoral program that does not have a formal proposal defense, the dissertation advisor’s statement of approval of the proposal will suffice.
    
2. Student resume and abstract of dissertation proposal (5-page maximum): The first page is resume, should highlight your academic and work experience, along with publications including manuscripts under review. Pages 2-5 should include title, author information, abstract, keywords, and dissertation research summary. Diagrams, tables, and references should be provided at the end of the document but do not count towards the 5-page limit. The extended abstract should succinctly cover the research question, theoretical background, proposed research design, and intended contribution.

Please note that late submissions or submissions that do not follow the listed requirements will not be considered.
