2024 Who Went Where Report
2024 Who-Went-Where Survey Results Are Here!
For the past 22 years, AMA DocSIG has been committed to providing valuable insights into the academic job market for doctoral students. Our annual surveys are crucial tools that not only aid tenure letter writers but also promote transparency, helping to break down systemic barriers for marginalized groups in the job market.
The 2023-24 report, reflecting the decentralized Post-Covid market, offers some variations from previous years, providing a comprehensive view of the evolving academic landscape.
This yearโs survey was conducted in two parts:
1. Part 1: Collected basic information such as candidate names and institutions.
2. Part 2: Anonymously gathered data on job market experiences, teaching, publications, and salary details. We reached out to participants through AMA DocSIG, ELMAR listservs, and social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn.
If your institution wasnโt contacted, please help us by providing your marketing department’s doctoral program coordinatorโs contact information at docsig.ama@gmail.com.
Special thanks to Reza Pedarpour and Gang Yi from Kent State University for designing and administering the survey, and to our dedicated volunteer review team for their ongoing efforts to enhance the Who Went Where (WWW) survey and report.
Congratulations to all the new Assistant Professors starting their roles in Fall 2024! ๐

AMA Academic Council Survey
AMA Academic Council is requesting participation in a survey to assess conference travel, inclusivity, and engagement. You do NOT need to be an AMA member to respond โ we want to hear from everyone, regardless of their AMA membership.
The AMA Academic Council is a 12-member council that represents the diversity of scholarly interests in managerial, behavioral, modeling, and public policy perspectives with attention to strategic marketing implications. The AMA strives to be the most relevant force and voice shaping marketing around the world; an essential community for marketers.
In support of that mission, the AMA Academic Council advocates for the AMA academic membership and provides stewardship of Academic Special Interest Groups (SIGs), events, and related initiatives. Currently, the council is chaired by Prof. Dr. Karen Winterich.
Please forward this email to your mentors, coauthors, and friends in marketing academia as well as colleagues and doctoral students at your institution or even to smaller group listservs you may be on if it has not yet been shared. The Academic Council is hoping to get responses from as many people in the field as possible.
As a thank you, two people who choose to enter their name in a separate link at the end will be randomly selected to receive free registration to an AMA conference in the coming year.
