Seventh PhD Project – Baruch Research Symposium ( )
Call for Participation
The PhD Project and Baruch College at the City University of New York invite doctoral student members of The PhD Project to apply to participate in the seventh annual PhD Project – Baruch College Research Symposium in New York City. Accepted students will be designated PhD Project – Baruch College Doctoral Research Fellows. The symposium will be held in-person April 24 – 25, 2025, in New York City. The event is free of charge for accepted students, including air travel and two nights of hotel accommodation.
Participating in this conference will provide you with an excellent opportunity to further develop your research scholarship, which will help with positioning yourself in the job market for a faculty position at research-oriented business schools when you complete your doctoral studies. Participants will begin to build life-long relationships with other students and faculty mentors who will help them become leaders within the business disciplines and research communities.
The PhD Project – Baruch College Research Symposium will help participating students advance their research projects. Baruch / CUNY faculty members who are leading research scholars in their respective fields will be paired with student presenters and discuss their papers and offer feedback and suggestions with the goal of bringing the manuscripts closer to possible publication in a quality academic research journal. Baruch research scholars will be available throughout the event to talk to participants about their research and ideas and to facilitate initiating new projects among student fellows and faculty mentors with shared interests.
Application Instructions:
Interested students should submit their updated CV and an extended abstract of either research-in-progress or a completed research by email to karl.lang@baruch.cuny.edu (please put ‘PhD Project Baruch Research Symposium – Submission’ in the subject line). Submitted work must be original and not already published. Students who already participated in one of our previous symposiums are welcome to submit again as long as it is a new or significantly different paper. However, preference will be given to new presenters. The extended abstract submission should not exceed 6 pages (single-spaced, inclusive of cover page, figures, tables, and references) and should summarize and discuss an ongoing or completed research project and include a clearly stated research question with an explanation of its importance, discussion of theory and methods, as well as findings and implications.

Students will be notified of acceptance by March 31, 2025.
