    Posted 03-28-2023 11:18

    I'm excited to tell you about a FutureBAProf workshop, a one-and-half day workshop at the University of Iowa for advanced PhD students and postdocs. The first workshop was held in 2022 and was very successful. 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 April 30.   

    The workshop will be held in Iowa City from August 6 (opening reception) – August 8 (day of departure) Participants will have opportunities to learn more about what research falls in business analytics departments, practice networking with business analytics faculty, and get expert job search advice.    

    This year's event is being coordinated by Ann Campbell (ann-campbell@uiowa.edu) and Tong Wang (tong-wang@uiowa.edu).    Event updates will be posted regularly on our twitter page @TippieAnalytics.
