Are you looking to refine your research identity or develop your career plans? If so, Diamonds in the Rough (DIR) is for you! For the last 12 years, DIR has offered career guidance for junior scholars (doctoral candidates, postdocs, assistant professors) across a wide variety of theoretical perspectives and methodologies. DIR strives to meet junior scholar’s needs for professional development in a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment. The PDW contains two components. 1) Asynchronous Feedback Sessions (registration required): Registrants will be paired with an influential scholar and 1-3 other registrants for a friendly chat and personalized feedback on their individual portfolios. These personalized sessions will be arranged at various times at the convenience of the facilitating scholar and their designated registrants. Participants who complete this session receive an MOC division “Bright Diamonds” certificate. 2) Live Synchronous Session (open to all): This live session features presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities for facilitators and participants. Come to be treated to stories about how prominent scholars forged their paths, advice on how to best navigate your own, and networking opportunities with colleagues with similar goals. Please visit https://moc.aom.org/intherough/dir for the most up to date details about DIR. To register, please complete our brief survey (click here) and submit your CV and a one-page overview of your research identity for feedback. MOC prides itself in being a ‘bridging division’ and we consider DIR the ultimate ‘bridging PDW’- we’re excited to help you “think it through”.
