AIB 2021: Junior Faculty Consortium

Who is This Event For?

All junior faculty members who are active in research and teaching in the broad field of international business are invited to participate. In order to make the consortium an effective exchange forum, we will be restricting the number of participants to 40 and will emphasize quality and diversity in the selection. Preference will be given to those who have been involved in teaching and/or research for no more than three years.

How is This Event Structured?

The 2021 Academy of International Business (AIB) Junior Faculty Consortium will be held virtually on June 27, 2021.

Note that there are two separate but similar sessions held for participants in different time zones (Asia and the Americas, with Africa and Europe in between and with the ability to attend either). Participants will be assigned to one of the sessions based on their time zones (but African and European students may wish to alert the organizers to their preferred session in their application). All JFC participants will also have the opportunity to join participants in the Doctoral Consortium for two joint panel discussions on “Ethics in Publication” and “Meeting the Editors”.

A tentative schedule for consortium participants in African/European and Asian time zones is as follows:

• 10am – 1pm UTC/GMT: Junior Faculty Consortium Session (View Local Time)
• 1pm – 3pm UTC/GMT: Ethics in Publication/Meeting the Editors (View Local Time)

A tentative schedule for consortium participants in American and African/European time zones is as follows:

• 1pm – 3pm UTC/GMT: Ethics in Publication/Meeting the Editors (View Local Time)
• 3pm – 6pm UTC/GMT: Junior Faculty Consortium Session (View Local Time)

How Can I Submit an Application?

Space is limited, so as to make sure that there is plenty of scope for interaction. To apply, please e-mail the following two documents to Markus Taussig (mtaussig@business.rutgers.edu) by May 1^st, 2021:

• A one-page CV, and
• A one-page description of your research program as follows:
  • Part 1 (approx. half a page) – give us a sense of your research interests (with a specific emphasis on how your work relates to international business), what you have published so far, and what your research pipeline looks like;
  • Part 2 (approx. half a page) – tell us what feedback or input would be most useful to you in a small group discussion; if this is getting feedback on an idea or paper then please describe this briefly, and alternatively, if this is about a query about career progression then again please share with thus your thoughts and question. This is also where African and European applicants might mention if they have a preference for the Asia or Americas session.

Please send these as two separate Microsoft Word documents, with your surname in the file title (e.g., NameBio.doc and NameResearch.doc). Kindly use “AIB 2021 JFC Application” as the subject line for your message.
