The AMCIS Doctoral Consortium seeks to help Information Systems doctoral students in the middle to latter part of their doctoral studies (i.e., after their first year of the program) to develop an effective career plan based on their personal and professional goals. The consortium has three primary objectives: 1) provide networking opportunities for students with peers and faculty, 2) help students strategize about their research, dissertation, teaching, and career plans, and 3) prepare students for the job market.

The program includes six faculty panels, three for the Senior Doctoral Students track and three for the Mid-Stage Doctoral Students track. These focus on how to manage one’s research program, dissertation, teaching responsibilities, job search and career planning, and developing a scholarly profile and network. In breakout sessions after each panel, small groups of students will discuss the panel topic with their faculty mentors and fellow students. The intent is for students to apply the panel topic to their personal and professional goals, with input from faculty mentors and peers.
