Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the AOM Careers Division, we are excited to invite you to participate in our Junior Mentoring Program and/or our Peer Mentoring Program!
The Junior Mentoring Program connects mid-career/senior scholars with junior faculty (pre-tenure and no more than 8 years post-PhD). One mentor will be matched with two junior faculty to meet four times during the year (February–December 2026). With clear objectives, a structured format, and a planned end date, the program provides early career members an opportunity to connect with and learn from established scholars.
The Peer Mentoring Program is designed for mid-career and senior scholars. Groups of four tenured faculty (senior lecturer, associate or full professors) will be matched and meet four times during the year (February–December 2026). Meeting objectives will be collaboratively determined, offering a platform to discuss topics and challenges relevant to this career stage, with support from peers who share similar experiences and perspectives.
Both mentoring programs seek to facilitate relational mentoring and career conversations between scholars with a shared interest in careers research. Our aspiration is to build and continue a tradition of mentoring and dialogue on careers (both research and managing your own career).
Please sign up by February 4th, 2026, using the links below:
