    LAST CALL: Applications due March 1, 2020

    Please join us for the FIRST EVER workshop focused on academic careers in business analytics. The Department of Business Analytics at the University of Iowa is hosting a two-day workshop for advanced PhD students and postdocs focused on preparing participants for careers in this exciting field.  We particularly want to encourage women, students from underrepresented groups, and students from departments outside business schools to apply.  

    The website is 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, get expert job search advice, and learn about forming helpful industry connections. 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.  

    Join us in Iowa City in May!

    Regards,
    Ann
