Conference on Careers
The Center for Human Resources at the Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania are sponsoring an multi-disciplinary conference on
research related to careers on June 24th-25th 2005 in Philadelphia.
The theme of the conference is to present and discuss empirical research
on careers, specifically, the advancement of individuals in jobs both
within and across organizations. Among the topics to be explored are the
determinants of advancement in jobs and careers, evidence on changing
patterns in careers, and research aimed at understanding the
institutions influencing careers, such as search firms and temporary
help agencies.
Researchers who are interested in presenting papers should contact the
organizers before May 1st and submit an abstract or manuscript.
Prominent researchers from economics, psychology, and sociology have
agreed to attend, and we expect a good turnout. Every effort will be
made to provide financial support for those who are presenting papers
and cannot otherwise attend the conference.
