Europe, with its numerous highly ranked universities and business schools and ease of mobility between countries, is an attractive location for pursuing an academic career. However, navigating different recruiting and selection processes, cultures, and languages can be challenging. Although this PDW is particularly targeted towards late-stage PhD students and junior faculty who are interested in starting or continuing their academic careers at a European university, it is also relevant for all AOM members interested in finding an academic job in the European market, regardless of career level and country where they completed their PhD. Our panelists currently work at European universities and are either involved in the recruiting process and/or have recently gone through it. All our panelists have gained academic work experience in different countries. Our discussion will include topics such as where to search for job openings, how to manage the application process, and how to build an academic profile for the European market. The PDW begins with a panel discussion. The panelists will be sharing their individual experiences with the application and recruiting processes, which is followed by a joint discussion and a short Q&A session. The second part of the PDW involves roundtable discussions focusing on job-search strategies and recruiting processes in six European countries. The workshop will conclude with a final Q&A session. Because the AOM 2025 will take place in Copenhagen (Denmark), we will be focusing particularly on Northern European countries this year.
