The focus of the STR Dissertation Consortium will be on providing participating students with an opportunity to discuss their job market papers and 'elevator pitches' about their research identity in small groups with distinguished faculty and peers for high-quality, developmental feedback. We will also be using breakout groups during coffee breaks to facilitate student networking.

The faculty panel includes (by last name in alphabetic order): Ron Adner (Dartmouth), Elisa Alvarez-Garrido (University of South Carolina), Annamaria Conti (IE Business School), Rebecca Karp (Harvard Business School), Narae Lee (Singapore Management University), Mary-Hunter (Mae) McDonnell (Wharton), Stefan Meier (Columbia Business School), Amandine Ody- Brasier (McGill University), Susan Perkins (University of Illinois Chicago), Tim Quigley (University of Georgia), Joost Rietveld (University College London), Kulwant Singh (National University of Singapore)

    Priority for admission to the 2023 Dissertation Consortium will be given to students who: (1) have completed drafts of their job market papers, and (2) have not previously attended the STR Doctoral Consortium. However, any doctoral student who is considering entering the job market and graduate during the 2023-2024 academic year (and who is not applying to the 2023 Doctoral Consortium) may apply.
