Call for Participation - 2017 AMERICAS CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM http://amcis2017.aisnet.org/events/doctoral-consortium/
When: Thursday, August 10, 2017 Time: 7:30 am - 3:00 pm Where: Sheraton Boston (Conference hotel), Boston, MA
Co-Chairs: Bengisu Tulu, Worcester Polytechnic University Stephanie Watts, Boston University Yang Lee, Northeastern University
The AMCIS Doctoral Consortium seeks to help Information Systems doctoral students in the middle part of their doctoral studies (i.e., after their first year of the program) or later part of their doctoral studies (i.e., entering the job market within the next year) to develop an effective career plan based on their personal and professional goals. The consortium has three primary objectives: - Provide networking opportunities for students with peers and faculty - Help students strategize about their research, teaching and career plans - Prepare students for the job market.
The program includes six faculty panels, three for the Senior Doctoral Students and three for the Mid-Stage Doctoral Students track. Panels focus on managing the dissertation and research program, teaching responsibilities and competencies, and career planning. In breakout sessions after each panel, small groups of students will discuss the panel topic with their faculty mentors and fellow students. The intent is for students to apply the panel topic to their personal and professional goals, with input from faculty mentors and peers. We will wrap-up with a discussion of how the lessons might be applied while also achieving an effective work-life balance.
The doctoral consortium will be held at the conference hotel on Thursday August 10, 2017. Participation is free for all registered AMCIS attendees. Students wishing to participate in the AMCIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium should: 1. Be studying Information Systems (or related discipline) and plan to address an Information Systems-related topic for their dissertation. 2. Have completed at least the first year of their doctoral program. The AMCIS 2017 DC is more inclusive than previous years where the AMCIS consortium was focused on PhD students entering the job market. PhD students in the mid-stage of their program (typically after year 1 but before dissertation) and senior stage (typically during dissertation) of their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply.
Preliminary Faculty Counselor List: Samir Chatterjee, Claremont Graduate University Fay Cobb Payton, North Carolina State University Wendy Currie, Audencia Business School Camille Grange, HEC Montreal Lakshmi Iyer, University of North Carolina Greensboro Bill Kettinger, University of Memphis Gondy Leroy, University of Arizona Lynne Markus, Bentley University (keynote) Lars Mathiassen, Georgia State University Juan Gomez Reynoso, Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes Eileen Trauth, The Pennsylvania State University Monica Tremblay, Florida International University Paul Witman, California Lutheran UniversityApplication Criteria
Consortium co-chairs will review each application. The review process emphasizes applicants’ accomplishments and potential. Students cannot apply to a track in which they have previously participated—that is, students who have participated in the mid-stage track cannot apply to this track but can apply to the senior student track. Multiple students may apply from one school. Diversity of applicants, institutions and countries will be considered in selecting the AMCIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium cohort. Priority will be given to students studying at universities in the AIS Americas region although students from other AIS regions will be included if space is available.
