[AISWorld] PACIS 2022 Junior Faculty Consortium - Call for Participation

[Choon Ling SIA]

PACIS 2022 Junior Faculty Consortium (Virtual)

July 5, 2022



The PACIS Junior Faculty Consortium aims to orientate junior IS faculty in,
but not limited to, the Pacific-Asia Region (AIS Region 3) to advance their
career in the region and beyond.  The Consortium is designed to prepare
junior faculty for the road ahead to leverage opportunities, avoid
pitfalls, plan for their desired career path, and understand the
expectations of the IS field and community as well as the key stakeholders,
including the local communities, the university management, and the
academic ecosystem.



At the Consortium, a group of senior IS scholars will serve as mentors to
Consortium participants. The Consortium includes panel discussions and
group interactions, covering diverse topics (e.g., career planning, meeting
tenure criteria, satisfying publication requirements, networking
opportunities and strategies, navigating work-family balance, etc.). In the
pandemic and post-pandemic times, the issues of how your career may be
affected and what adjustments are needed are also relevant topics for
discussion.
