2026 AOM ENT Doctoral Consortium
Call for Applications
📍Philadelphia. (In-person only)
📅Friday, July 31, 2026. 8:00am - 5:00pm
Who can apply: Late stage PhD students (ideally, those who have completed their course work and are working on their dissertation)
The AOM ENT Division warmly invites applications to its annual consortium for doctoral students. Due to the generous commitment of time from many senior scholars to this event, we expect admitted applicants to attend the ENTIRE program (all sessions throughout the entire day without any exceptions).
Application Procedure:
To apply, please complete the electronic form using the following URL:
https://lnkd.in/eHqbTwv3
Please answer all the questions in the form above and upload the following documents:
1️⃣ A brief statement (one page or less) of your academic career goal and your research interests
2️⃣ Three to five keywords that best represent your research interests
3️⃣ Your current CV
4️⃣ A working paper on an entrepreneurship topic. This should be the "best / most advanced" research manuscript that you are moving toward publication. The working paper should be sole authored or one that you are leading, if it is a co-authored work. No more than 35 pages (all inclusive, double-spaced, font size of 12 points) and, must not be an accepted-for-publication/published manuscript.
IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the key objectives of this working paper submission is to give students an opportunity to receive one-on-one feedback from an expert scholar in the field. This paper will be used to match you with a scholar as well as another doctoral student to provide constructive feedback. As such, students should not submit their entire dissertation as there will not be adequate time to review and discuss such a document. Therefore, as a general guideline, the working paper (a) must not exceed 35 pages (all inclusive, double-spaced, font size of 12 points) and, (b) must not be an accepted-for-publication/published manuscript.
Needs-based Financial Support: The Entrepreneurship Division may have limited funding available to support admission to the AOM Conference on a need basis. This funding is not guaranteed. To facilitate a needs-based approach to address this situation, doctoral consortium applicants seeking financial support should ask their doctoral supervisor or a relevant authority at their school to provide a signed letter (on official letterhead) formally stating that the school does not offer the applicant any financial support to attend the AOM Conference. The letter must state that the applicant will not be able to attend the AOM Conference without receiving some financial assistance and explain why the School/University does not provide such assistance. If you are seeking assistance under these conditions, please submit the signed official letter along with your other application materials.
📆Applications are due by 30 March, 2026 4:00 PM Pacific Time, USA (SFO, Portland, Seattle). Late applications will not be accepted.
Consortium positions will be allocated by a committee based on an inclusive evaluation of all application materials. Contact the doctoral consortium co-chairs, Raja Singaram (raja.singaram@outlook.com) or Andreas Rauch (arauch@audencia.com) in case of questions or clarifications.
all the best,
