Call for Dissertation Award Nominations

Posted: 22 October 2004

by Peter Kim

Each year, IACM seeks applications from freshly minted Ph.D.s in our field for the Dissertation of the Year Award. If you successfully defended your dissertation within the 2003 or 2004 calendar year, you are eligible to apply. We encourage those eligible to apply, since relatively few Ph.D.s are granted each year in our area and the chances of winning are quite good. To apply for the Dissertation of the Year Award, submit a 10-page (excluding tables and references), double-spaced abstract of your dissertation to me at the following address:
Peter Kim
Department of Management & Organization
Bridge Hall 307F
University of Southern California
Los Angeles, CA 90089-1421
(kimpeter@usc.edu)
The deadline for submission is April 1, 2005. Your application must be submitted to me through e-mail so they can be distributed to the other reviewers in this format. Abstracts that exceed the 10-page limit (excluding references and tables) will not be accepted, so please keep it short.

Four reviewers will independently rank order these applications. If only one person applies, we will hold the dissertation for one year and put it in the next year's pool. Applicants are encouraged to give the committee a thorough understanding of the theory, methods, and results of the dissertation. Please e-mail me if you have any questions, and best of luck. I'll look forward to seeing you in Seville.
