Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Accounting PhD Rookie Recruiting & Research Camp?

The 2015 Accounting PhD Rookie Recruiting & Research Camp is a two-day forum for faculty and recruiters to meet and network with PhD candidates, attend 15-minute research presentations by job-seeking candidates, and interview a number of candidates interested in faculty or private sector positions.

Who should attend?
PhD candidates from all research backgrounds (audit, financial, information systems, tax, analytical, experimental, behavioral, empirical, etc.) with expected graduation in Spring 2016 are encouraged to apply to attend the Camp. Registered recruiters will receive a convenient resume/"bio book" of all PhD candidates organized by dissertation topic. Recruiters may schedule interviews with candidates both before the camp and during the camp (i.e. a recruiter may see an interesting presentation and want to schedule an on-site interview).

How do I register?
To register for the event, please click on the "Registration" button at the top of the page.

There is no registration fee for graduating PhD candidates. Early registration fees for recruiting faculty and hotel information can be found online. A limited number of slots will be reserved for junior PhD students (not graduating in 2016) to attend the camp as observers. There is a nominal, non-refundable fee for observers. Click the above Registration button to access either the online or printable registration form.
