NYU Stern’s Diverse Pathways in Academia 2024
Greetings!
We hope you will help us reach potential participants by sharing this information with doctoral students, colleagues, and relevant organizations.
As in past years, the Leonard N. Stern School of Business invites talented scholars from an array of backgrounds to participate in our two-day Diverse Pathways in Academia program in New York City. The program’s goal is to share information with doctoral students about academic careers within business schools to a diverse cohort of scholars from other fields.
The program is geared toward scholars in either their penultimate doctoral year or the year prior from disciplines whose work can be applied to a business field. We hope to increase the pool of scholars that are competitive candidates for open faculty and research positions at top-tier business schools.
Many of NYU Stern’s faculty members hold doctorates in fields such as psychology, sociology, statistics, mathematics, computer science and other non-business subjects. They have found a stimulating and satisfying academic community at Stern.
Many psychology and sociology scholars investigate topics of great relevance and importance to management research and practice such as identity, emotions, groups, diversity, person perception, and a wide range of other topics. Similarly, many cognitive psychology and social psychology scholars investigate topics on judgment and decision-making, for example, that are highly relevant to the field of marketing, which includes the study of consumer behavior and decision-making.
Holders of doctoral degrees in engineering, computer science, math, statistics and operations study topics of extreme usefulness in solving the practical and important problems faced by the business world. With each passing day, data science, analytics and computing are becoming more and more important in all aspects of any organization. Methods using machine learning, artificial intelligence and operations find ever-increasing applications in both business and not-for-profit firms.
The program will take place in New York City on January 18 and 19, 2024, with all expenses paid. It will include presentations and panels by faculty members and administrators, along with networking opportunities. Program participants will have the opportunity to engage with Stern’s deans, professors, and administrators to:

The program’s networking opportunities offered an invaluable platform for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and forging lifelong friendships with like-minded scholars. I am immensely grateful for the transformative impact of DPA.â€
