SIOPâ€™s Third Annual Junior Faculty Consortium

SIOP will present the Third Annual Junior Faculty Consortium (JFC) at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9, 2007 at the Hilton San Francisco. The JFC will again provide a forum for discussion of topics of mutual interest including starting and maintaining a high-impact line of research, some do’s and don’ts regarding the tenure process, and how to get undergraduates excited about I-O psychology. Sessions will encourage lively discussion and allow time for informal interaction among participants.

New this year is the slightly longer format and elimination of concurrent sessions. We will also have lunch with the attendees of the doctoral consortium. We are again inviting past (2006 and 2007) junior faculty participants and panelists to join us for the social hour at 5:00 p.m. The first two JFCs helped to build a great social network for junior I-O psychologists in academia, and we hope to continue the process. The consortium is designed for pretenure faculty from psychology departments, business schools, research, and teaching institutions. Those just starting in new positions are welcome.
