The Doctoral Student SIG (DocSIG) is a special interest group of the American Marketing Association designed for marketing doctoral students of all research methodologies: behavioral, quantitative, and qualitative. DocSIG was founded by marketing doctoral students and continues to respond to the needs of marketing doctoral students, especially at the annual Summer and Winter Academic conferences of AMA. Every conference, we host a Friday night networking dinner, a Saturday mentor breakfast, and at least one in-person session with topics tailored to the needs of doctoral students interested in tenure-track positions. 
In 25-26, our organization is led by Ishita Nagpal (Chair, GSU) and Zahra Safa Karami (Chair-Elect, UW). Reach out to us at docsig.ama@gmail.com.

Our motto is "Building, Bonding, Blooming." As such, DocSIG offers opportunities for students to develop professional skills in the areas of research, writing, teaching, presenting, reviewing, and other areas that aid in job placement and career college paper format development. In addition, we seek to provide a community for students of marketing to interact, ask questions, and generally support each other. In this way, DocSIG not only aims to offer useful information that can aid students in their study program, but strives to facilitate professional relationships that will last long after one’s years as a doctoral student.

This social media channel is administered by Rafaela Canova Davide (UA) and Kaixin (Kathy) Huang (GSU). We are happy to share opportunities with our communities on our socials, website, and through our listserv. Requests for dissemination should be addressed to the chair at inagpal1@gsu.edu or docsig.ama@gmail.com.
