We have put together a number of exciting sessions that should be of interest to junior faculty striving to have a successful academic career. We have designed a set of sessions relevant for U.S. and international faculty at the starting gate of their careers.

Sessions will include: 

• Challenges of junior faculty members (facilitated by Maria Kraimer, Diane Johnson, and Judy Tansky);
• Strategies for getting research done (presented by Alan Witt and Maria Kraimer);
• Strategies for effective teaching (presented by Ken Brown, Ian Williamson, and Judy Tansky);
• Juggling multiple demands (presented by Janet Marler, Dan Moshavi, and Diane Johnson);
• Journal reviewing and becoming an Editor (presented by David Allen and Micki Kacmar);
• Tips for turning that "revise and resubmit" into a publication (presented by Scott Seibert and John Hollenbeck); and
• Tips from HR Division Award Winners on how to succeed in a research career.

Who can attend? All junior faculty at academic institutions (Assistant Professors, Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, and Postdocs) who completed their PhDs within the past five years. 

When is it? 9:00am - 5:15pm on Saturday, August 9 (with an optional reception from 5:30-6:30pm; and an option to attend the Editors' panels on Sunday morning).

How do I register? Register through the PDW central registration system, which can be accessed once you've registered for the conference.

It should be a lot of fun, relaxed, and informative. There is no better way to develop networking opportunities than through the Junior Faculty Workshop. So, plan on arriving in Anaheim by Friday evening so that you can join our Junior Faculty Consortium.
