QUIS16
Doctoral Student and Recent Graduates Consortium
Deadline: Feb 20th
The purpose of QUIS16 Doctoral Consortium is to help Ph.D. Students and recent graduates maximize their chances of having a successful academic career in our globally competitive environment. A mix of junior and experienced faculty will provide their perspectives on finding the right position and becoming an excellent researcher and teacher. With their combined experience, the panel will be able to answer questions about “the dissertation phase, being on the job-market, and life after obtaining a PhD’ (Yes, there is one!).
Who Should Attend
The Doctoral Consortium welcomes Ph.D. students and recent graduates from all subject areas within Service Management (e.g. human resources, marketing, operations, and strategy).
There are several important reasons why you should attend.
- Networking: getting a job, finding collaborators, and gaining advantages in the career you are about to enter are all related to “who you know.” This is your chance to meet and get to know some of the leading researchers and educators in the field.
- Skill development: excellent teaching and research require practical skills in addition to content knowledge. You will learn from both established scholars and recent graduates who will share their secrets to success.
- Furthering your research: the research incubator will give you a chance to engage in a discussion of your research ideas with your peers and with outstanding researchers in the area of service as well as discuss issues and challenges in service research.
- Fun: Come socialize with your current and future colleagues.
The Consortium will take place in Karlstad, at Scandic Hotel Winn, June 10th at 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm.
