Pre-Colloquium Post-Doctoral and Early Career Scholars Workshop 2023

• Start of applications: Tuesday, November 1, 2022
• Applications deadline:  Tuesday, January 10, 2023 [23:59 CET]
• Applicants will be notified of acceptance by early March 2023
• This workshop will be taking place on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, from 09:00 to 23:00 CEST, prior to the main 39 th  EGOS Colloquium 2023 in Cagliari.

To our understanding, the main challenge in an academic career is balancing personal passions and preferences on the one hand and the needs of and pressures from various parties on the other while sustaining a meaningful career over time. How do we manage these conflicting demands, and how do we achieve impact and relevance in our careers? These questions nag any academic, let alone early career scholars, so we aim to create a space for their discussion.

In 2023, the pre-Colloquium Post-Doctoral and Early Career Scholars Workshop will focus on presentations, discussions, and small-group workshops dedicated to:

• Developing a better understanding of the various dimensions of academic work, their rationale, and their importance in different stages of your academic career;
• Reflecting upon your identity and voice as a researcher, an educator, and a citizen of various academic communities (e.g., within your institution, EGOS, AoM, etc.), with an opportunity for hands-on exchange about diverse career paths and ways to achieve relevance and impact;
• Thinking of your career and the interplay of serendipity and strategic action in navigating it. To facilitate your reflection, we will hear about the experiences of senior scholars who will reflect on their career paths, highlighting failures, dead ends, and missed opportunities – and what they have learned from them – as much as about what brought them motivation and joy.

Our workshop will be hybrid, this means, it will be possible to attend our workshop either onsite or online. Plenary talks and panels will be streamed, and for the interactive discussions, we will designate online participants to an online roundtable.

For the initial submission of your application, you will be asked to provide information about your preferred mode of participation, should your application be accepted.

To be considered for participation in the pre-Colloquium Post-Doctoral and Early Career Scholars Workshop 2023, applicants should have completed their doctoral dissertation within the last five academic years (excluding maternity leave or similar).

For ASSIOA members, Post-Doctoral and Early Career Scholars Workshop 2023 application will require two obligatory steps:

1. Application on the website of EGOS (follow the guidelines and procedures of EGOS). Please keep in mind that registration for the workshop must be submitted separately from the main EGOS Colloquium registration.
2. The same application should be send also to the WoA 2023 form.

Please apply for admission to the workshop by Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at the latest, and upload a single PDF file that contains the following information:

• A letter of application, including name, affiliation, postal & e-mail address, as well as an explaining your motivation to participate;
• An extended abstract (1 page) outlining your primary area of work or a current paper project;
• Your curriculum vitae;
• An aspirational curriculum vitae explaining where you would like to see yourself in 10–15 years in terms of your academic achievements and focus. It can be written as a free text or as a list like CV, as long as you also explain your choices and reflect upon the major challenges you will face in your efforts to move from your current CV to your desired one (2 pages max.).

Please note!

• Participants in the workshop will be selected based on their potential benefit from, and contribution to, the workshop.
• Applicants will be notified of acceptance by early March 2023. Given the interactive nature of the workshop, the number of participants will be limited. Please keep in mind that registration for the workshop must be submitted separately from the main EGOS Colloquium registration.
• Upon acceptance to the workshop, participants will be given the opportunity to revise and finalize their extended abstract and aspirational CV up until June 15, 2023 (fixed deadline) and upload it via the EGOS website.
• Between June 15 and the workshop (July 4), each participant will be asked to review at least one extended abstract and the CVs of another participant.
• We expect your full commitment once your application has been accepted and you have agreed to participate: a late cancellation effectively blocks an opportunity for one of your colleagues.
