    I'm excited to tell you about a two day workshop at the University of Iowa for advanced PhD students and postdocs. Our goal is to demystify academic careers in business analytics and help participants prepare for the job market and careers in this field. We particularly want to encourage women, students from underrepresented groups, and students from departments outside business schools to apply.  

    Our website is now up (https://tippie.uiowa.edu/FutureBAProf), and students can apply online. All accepted applicants will attend for FREE including air travel.  The only restriction is that students are at a U.S. institution. Applications are due March 1.

    The workshop will be held in Iowa City from May 18 (opening reception) – May 20. Participants will have opportunities to learn more about what research falls in business analytics departments, practice networking with business analytics faculty, get hands-on assistance with application writing, and get expert job search advice. Faculty from many different business analytics programs will participate in this workshop, with the plenary given by Professor Anna Nagurney from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.  

    Can you please share this information with your PhD students and postdocs?

    Regards,

    Ann
