INTRODUCTION This guidebook provides relevant information for doctoral students – current and prospective -- at Rice University’s Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business (JGS). You may access this guidebook, as well as other information about the doctoral program and the JGS, at the following internet addresses: http://business.rice.edu/PhD This guidebook complements Rice University’s General Announcements Catalog. Knowledge of policies outlined in both books is every student’s responsibility. G o a l s o f t h e J G S D o c t o r a l P r o g r a m The JGS doctoral program is intended for candidates aspiring to become faculty members at business schools in prestigious research universities. Students will engage in both coursework and research as part of their doctoral training. Students close to graduation will interview for faculty positions, hoping to start their careers as Assistant Professors, at business schools around the world. The career of an Assistant Professor involves conducting research that is eventually published in well respected, peer-reviewed academic journals, imparting management wisdom (informed by research) in the classroom to BSBA and MBA students aspiring to become effective managers, and eventually training Ph.D. students to become researchers and academics. In due course, a successful (on research, teaching and service dimensions, as deemed by senior faculty colleagues) Assistant Professor is promoted to Associate Professor, and thereafter to Full Professor. How quickly one achieves these promotions depends on one’s productivity as an academic scholar. 1
A r e a A d v i s o r s A prospective student chooses an area of study when applying to the doctoral program. Areas of study include: (1) Accounting, (2) Finance, (3) Marketing, (4) Organizational Behavior, and (5) Strategic Management. Each of these areas is supervised by a faculty advisor, a member of the faculty specializing in that area. These area advisors; supervise the evaluation of applications to their respective areas, counsel new students on the curriculum in that area and how to plan their course of study, and serve as advisors to all the students in their respective areas throughout their course of study. The current area advisors are listed below. Accounting: Thomas Hemmer Finance: Kerry Back Marketing: Amit Pazgal Organizational Behavior: Jennifer George Strategic Management: Bob Hoskisson 2
