We are looking for enthusiastic, proactive, and dedicated doctoral students who can join our team in the following positions: the Assistant Vice Chair of Online Engagement, the Vice Chair Special Projects and Partnerships, and the Vice Chair of Scholarly Insights. Here are a few details about these open positions:
The Assistant Vice Chair of Online Engagement will work with the VC of Online Engagement on the official AMA DocSIG website and social media accounts. This position will require a time commitment of no more than 2-3 hours per month, with peaks before Winter/Summer AMA conferences and when officer rotations happen.
The Vice Chair Special Projects and Partnerships will work with the Chair and Chair-Elect to ensure that all AMA DocSIG events at Winter/Summer AMA conferences are well coordinated and work toward strengthening relationships with other AMA SIGs. This officer will also be in charge of creating the monthly Student Spotlight posts.
The Vice Chair of Scholarly Insights will head up AMA DocSIG’s new initiative with the Journal of Marketing Research – “Journal of Marketing Research | Scholarly Insights by AMA DocSIG”. This officer will be in charge of coordinating the process of developing the Scholarly Insights, every two months. We have blog posts live on ama.org via the Journal of Marketing Research main page at ama.org/jmr, with corresponding posts on JMR’s LinkedIn page. Given the responsibilities of this officer position, we are looking for a doctoral student with excellent written communication skills and good attention to detail. So, will require all doctoral students interested in this officer position to include a short writing sample on the following topic: “What are the three key lessons you have learned in the course of your Ph.D. journey, that you believe every prospective doctoral student should know?”
Interested doctoral students may email the AMA DocSIG Chair, Divya Ramachandran, at dramachandran1@gsu.edu with a short bio about themselves and indicate the officer position of their interest. In case of applications to the Vice Chair of Scholarly Insights position, please include a writing sample on the above mentioned topic. Questions about AMA DocSIG or the open positions may also be emailed to Divya.
