2009 OMT JUNIOR FACULTY CONSORTIUM
August 6-7, 2009

The OMT division is pleased to present the annual OMT Junior Faculty workshop. If you hold an assistant professor rank (or its equivalent), this professional development workshop is for you.  The workshop provides a forum for interacting with senior colleagues to glean insights into the knowledge that you need to prosper in both the local and global academic environment. The workshop focuses on strategies for impact as a scholar and teacher, as well as on building a career in diverse professional settings.  In the workshop, you will have a chance to interact with an exciting team of workshop Fellows through panels, discussion and informal talk, and to meet many other peers early in their careers.  

The OMT Division focuses on building and testing theory about organizations, their management and members, inter-organizational relations and environments and organizing processes. If you are an Assistant Professor and your research focuses on these areas, then you are a perfect candidate for the OMT Jr. Faculty Consortium.
