The OCIS (Organizational Communications and Information Systems) division of the Academy of Management is pleased to announce the 2012 Doctoral Consortium, to be held in Boston, MA, 3-4 August 2012.

The consortium will provide an opportunity for doctoral students to network, receive feedback on their research and discuss career issues. All interested PhD students working on research in the areas of Organizational Communications or Information Systems are invited to apply.

Confirmed faculty advisors include:

Youngjin Yoo, Temple University

Noshir Contractor, Northwestern University

Sirkka Jarvenpaa, University of Texas at Austin and Aalto University

Rob Fichman, Boston College

Michael Barrett, University of Cambridge

We have received generous funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF grant IIS-1214862) to support travel and attendance for students, with some support available also for non-US-based attendees.

Acceptance to the consortium will be based on a review of the application materials. Preference for attendance and funding will be given to students who will have defended their dissertation proposals but not their dissertations by the date of the consortium, to those who have not previously participated in the OCIS consortium, and to those whose institutions or fields would not otherwise be represented.

To apply, please submit an application online at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aomocisdc2012. The application includes 1) a 5-page, double-spaced, 12 point abstract of the proposed dissertation research and 2) a letter of recommendation from dissertation chair/advisor supporting the student's participation in the Doctoral Consortium.

The due date for applications and letters of recommendation is 10 May 2012.

For questions, please contact the OCIS Doctoral Consortium chair, Youngjin Yoo (youngjin.yoo@temple.edu mailto:youngjin.yoo@temple.edu). And please pass this note on to any doctoral students you know who might be interested.
