    Deadline July 15: HAS Job Market Session - Call for Participants "on the Market"

    We are excited to announce a new initiative to bring visibility to the students and postdocs looking for academic positions with a focus on health applications and/or theory. We are organizing a "lightning" session at the 2019 INFORMS Annual Meeting. We hope this session will facilitate recruitment for departments interested in growing their capabilities in healthcare-related research/teaching.


    The format of this 90-minute session will be 1-2 slides per participant, which they must present in 1-2 minutes. The detailed criteria are as follows:

    Eligibility Criteria to Participate:

    1. Be a member of HAS at the time of the session;
    2. Be working on healthcare-related problems;
    3. Be on the job market at the time of the session;
    4. A participant is eligible to partake in HAS Job Market Sessions only once as a PhD student and once as a Postdoc.

    Application Documents:

    1. A letter from the PhD/postdoc advisor that contains the following statement: "The participant, [full name of the participant], will be on the job market after August 1, 2019. At least one-third of the participant's dissertation/past research is healthcare-related."
    2. A proof of HAS membership that is valid at the time of the session. This includes a membership receipt, or a screenshot of "Membership Summary" under "View My Account" from the "INFORMS Self Service Menu."

    Deadline:

    Interested applicants should send an email with the application documents and the subject line "Application to HAS Job Market Session 2019" to jobmarket.has@gmail.com by July 15, 2019. Once accepted, participants will be required to submit their slides by September 1, 2019.

    This session will provide candidates who are on the job market with great exposure to schools that are hiring in 2019! Participation will be based on a first come first serve basis and space is limited. We encourage those who are interested to apply early!
