2023 ISMS Early-Career Scholars Camp: Call for Nominations

The INFORMS Society for Marketing Science (ISMS) is pleased to announce the 2023 ISMS Early-Career Scholars Camp, to be held at Duke University, October 27-28, 2023. This is the second of two pilots. The first pilot in October of 2022 had the highest post-conference survey ratings for an ISMS conference.

The purpose of the Camp is to develop and foster a community of early-career scholars who represent the future of marketing science and ISMS. The Camp will bring together a select group of pre-tenure marketing scholars to not only nurture their academic careers but also help them develop an enduring social network of colleagues and mentors in their field.

A distinguishing aspect of the Camp is its emphasis on rotating small group discussions and workshops. Leading researchers (e.g., recent major award winners; editors and AEs from our major journals) will seed a topic, but the emphasis is on discussion. Track themes include identifying research priorities, frontier research, industry collaborations, and creating an identity within the academy. As we did with the first Camp, session topics will be finalized using input from the Fellows.

Fellows will have the opportunity to actively learn from one another about new research developments and hone their own expertise. Equally importantly, the camp will provide a venue for Fellows to connect with thought leaders who are dedicated to helping junior faculty develop into the next generation of leaders. Participants will get to know one another more closely, exchange experiences regarding research and research resources, explore common research interests, and establish the foundation for future collaborations. The Camp is a vehicle to allow early career scholars to develop a close network among themselves and strengthen ties with established scholars in the field.

Nomination and Registration

The Camp is open to pre-tenure (as of October 2023) academics and early-career PhD-holding practitioners with research agendas in the quantitative aspects (empirical and analytical) of marketing. While most will be housed in marketing departments, individuals working on quantitative marketing problems in adjacent departments/schools are also eligible.

The Camp can accommodate 75 Fellows. We will prioritize having representation from a broad set of schools. Camp Fellows from 2022 are not eligible for the 2023 Camp.

The nomination process is as follows:

• Each school coordinates internally (preferred) and can nominate fellows by () for their ‘school slot’ (one nomination per each school). Additionally, schools may provide the name(s) of any other interested pre-tenure faculty who could be included on a space-available basis. Nominations should be received no later than August 15, 2023.

Or

• Interested candidates can also self-nominate on (). If there is more than one interested applicant from a given school, the Camp co-chairs may ask the school for help in identifying the nominee for the ‘school slot’ for the 2023 Camp. Self-nominations should be received no later than August 15, 2023.
