The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology will present the Second Annual Junior Faculty Consortium at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 26, 2007 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.  The consortium will provide a forum for discussion of topics of mutual interest to junior faculty, such as effective teaching strategies, starting and maintaining an independent stream of research, innovative methods for doing field research, and the tenure process.  Sessions will encourage lively discussion and allow time for informal interaction among participants. 

New and exciting this year is our invitation to former 2006 Junior Faculty participants and panelists to join us for the social hour at 5:00 p.m.  We hope to build a social network for junior industrial and organizational psychologists in academic settings. The consortium is designed for pre-tenure faculty from psychology departments, business schools, research, and teaching institutions.  Those just starting in new positions are welcome.
