EAA JOB MARKET FOR ACCOUNTING ACADEMICS

(Madrid. November 8-9, 2019)

Building Bridges between Young Talent and Academic Institutions

https://eaa-jobmarket.ie.edu/

Institutions of higher learning witness increasing mobility of PhD students and faculty. Combining the strengths of the web and face-to-face initiatives, the Management Committee of the EAA agreed to launch the fifth edition of its job market, a Talent Workshop, for accounting academics.

Testimonials:

CRISTINA GRANDE (TW 2018, PHD FROM UNIVERSIDAD CARLOS III DE MADRID, NOW AT CASS BUSINESS SCHOOL) “My experience at the 2018 Talent Workshop held at IE was very positive and key to finding a job. I had the opportunity of being interviewed by universities not only from Europe but also from other parts of the world. The TW was the perfect setting to meet great scholars and job market candidates and make myself known.”

MARIO SCHABUS (TW 2016, UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM, NOW AT UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE) “The Madrid job market conference was a great experience as I learned about many potential employers from a variety of countries. Even though you can only sign up for one job, you learn about your opportunities and the conditions different employers offer. Further, it’s a chance to network you shouldn’t forego as you never know what will happen a few years ahead. I spoke with professors from University of Melbourne, my current employer, and got to discuss teaching/research demands as well as how my research would fit in the work faculty is engaged in.”

CINTHIA VALLE RUIZ (TW 2017, PHD FROM UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID, NOW AT IESEG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT) “I attended the 3rd edition of the Talent Workshop in Madrid and thanks to that, I got an Assistant Professor position at IESEG School of Management. The Talent Workshop is a great place to get the first contact with Schools in which you are potentially interested. Having the opportunity to meet with some of the faculty members helps you to better understand whether the school might be a potential good match. Further, sometimes you get some additional information that is not contained in the job posting. Even though it lasts only 2 (very intense) days, is a very efficient event as you can meet with many Schools which helps with the first screening (for candidates and Universities). In my case, I had the opportunity to meet with most of the Universities I was interested in and during the interviews, I got valuable information about the School, faculty members and the expectations they have for junior faculty. Besides the benefits of getting to know better the Universities, the Talent Workshop is an excellent occasion to further develop (or to start building) our networking. I remember that during the Talent Workshop I had the first contact with some people in my research area with whom I am planning to have some projects in short-term (of course, after the event I took an active approach to keep in contact with them but it really helped to break the ice).”

FACUNDO MERCADO (TW 2017, PHD FROM UNIVERSIDAD CARLOS III DE MADRID, NOW AT UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK) “The IE/EAA Talent Workshop is a great initiative. It saves you time searching for job opportunities, increases your visibility, and gives you the opportunity to have interviews with many universities in the same venue. In my case it was very helpful for getting my current job as an Assistant Professor at Warwick Business School. Bottom-line, the IE/EAA Talent Workshop makes the job market process much easier for PhD candidates.”

GIULIA REDIGOLO (TW 2016, UNIVERSITY OF PADOVA AND VENICE, NOW AT ESADE) “The Talent Workshop is a great opportunity for PhD rookies in Accounting t get exposure and establish the very first contact with European/international schools seeking to recruit new accounting faculty. The event brings together universities and PhD candidates in a very effective way through a matching mechanism. As a PhD candidate, you will have the unique opportunity to present your research in front of all interested recruiters and hold individual interviews with schools. In addition to being a bridge to your future academic career, the TW offers you the chance to learn more about schools and faculty that you might be interested in, as well as to expand your academic network. Definitely a precious and valuable experience!”
