2021 ABO Doctoral Consortium - Application is closed

The Accounting, Behavior, and Organizations Section of the AAA is pleased to announce its Fifteeth Annual Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will be held in conjunction with the ABO Research Conference.  The Consortium is designed for PhD students interested in conducting behavioral research. New faculty (i.e., those less than three years post PhD) also will be considered for attendance at the Consortium, space permitting.

We will start off with a welcome reception on Thursday, October 7, 2021 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm. The Consortium will take place on Friday, October 8, 2021, from 7:30 am- 12:00 pm (immediately prior to the ABO Research Conference).  Expert researchers will present talks on how to conduct and publish high-quality research as well as on how to manage academic careers.  Participants also will have opportunities to ask questions and interact with the presenters.

The Doctoral Consortium and Research Conference are free for student members of the AAA (although students need not be members of the ABO section).

To apply to attend the Consortium, PhD students and new faculty should complete by noon EDT Friday, August 13, 2021. We will process qualifying applications in the order they are received. Please ensure you apply early, since space at the Consortium is limited.  You will be notified on August 31, 2021, whether you have been accepted for the Consortium. 

With respect to the ABO Research Conference, PhD students will need to register, even if they are accepted for the Consortium.  New faculty accepted for the Consortium will also need to register for the Conference separately and pay the standard Conference fee. 

The ABO Doctoral Consortium provides an exciting opportunity to bring together new and established behavioral researchers to exchange research ideas and career experiences.  We hope that you will join us this October.

Stephanie Grant
