The Strategic Human Capital Interest Group is now accepting applications for the Pre-Tenure Mentoring Program 2023-2024 academic year. This year-long program aims to provide opportunities for mentoring pre-tenure faculty from senior faculty and peers doing research in the strategic human capital space. We just had a successful fourth year of the program, and we thank our incredible mentors-Sekou Bermiss, Matthew Bidwell, Rocio Bonet, Ben Campbell, Seth Carnahan, Russ Coff, Caroline Flammer, Martin Ganco, Rebecca Kehoe, David Kryscynski, Denisa Mindruta, Janice Molloy, Anthony Nyberg, and Greg Reilly-who provided life-changing mentorship and support to our pre-tenure faculty last year. We also thank Ulya Tsolmon for providing invaluable leadership in organizing the previous editions of the program.
This year's program will kick off in September. The format for the mentoring program will be small groups consisting of 2 senior faculty mentors and 4 pre-tenure faculty. The groups are matched on mutual preferences, and the groups will stay intact for a year, connecting on quarterly calls via teleconferencing throughout the year. We provide sufficient structure for the quarterly calls, but also offer enough flexibility for groups to organize themselves as best serves their needs.
This year's program will have the following structure (all meetings will be over Zoom):
● Program kickoff and orientation – the last week of September
● Four quarterly group calls – Oct, Jan, Apr, July – exact dates to be determined by groups
● Two topic calls "Mind of an Editor" and "Tenure Letter Writers" featuring journal editors and senior scholars – calls in Dec and April
● Brownbag series
Application Requirements:
To apply to participate in the program, please complete this short Google form by August 20th, 2023: https://forms.gle/VUodophAcpvoxy7H7
The application is open to all pre-tenure scholars. The participants will be invited to join the Strategic Human Capital Interest Group at the SMS if they are not members already. Participants are expected to attend all mentoring program meetings.
We will review the applications and notify participants by September 1st, 2023.
As we aim to maintain a good ratio of mentors to participants, the size of the program may be limited by the number of mentors. Should we need to select applicants, we will give priority to those who have not participated yet and, if needed, draw randomly among them.
Summary of the main time commitments:
● Orientation (last week of Sept)-exact date and time TBD
● Program kickoff (last week of Sept)-exact date and time TBD
● Group quarterly calls (Oct, Jan, Apr, July)-TBD by groups
