迈向项目研究的未来：为项目研究的青年学者建立PMJ学院
Stepping into the Future of Project Studies: Establishing the PMJ College for Early Career Researchers in Project Studies
ABSTRACT
在美国项目管理协会（PMI）的支持下，我们很高兴推出PMJ学院，这是一项全球性的跨期刊计划，旨在培养未来从事项目研究的优秀学者。当下这一举措十分重要，因为学术界正在努力吸引和留住、也确实需要人才。社会需要良好的项目和项目管理才能运转，因此也需要充满活力的学术项目生态来扩充知识并帮助项目实践。PMJ 学院旨在通过一系列研讨会和指导来吸引、留住和帮助青年学者，促进充满激情和参与性的学术研究。现在已开放申请，其流程在本推送中有进一步说明。
With the support of the Project Management Institute (PMI), we are excited to launch the PMJ College, a global, cross-journal initiative to nurture future leading academics in project studies. The initiative is important now, as academia struggles to attract and retain talent, yet really needs academics. Society requires good projects and project management to survive and hence also a vibrant academic project ecology to extend knowledge and help project practice. The PMJ College aims to attract, retain, and help early career academics through a series of workshops and mentorship, fostering passionate and engaged scholarship. Applications are open, and its process is described in this editorial.
这项工作的核心是一个结构化的两年制课程，其中包括四个沉浸式研讨会，旨在培养讨论、阅读、评论、研究和写作的艺术。我们默认学员对研究的基础知识有扎实的了解。我们的研讨会将探索高阶技能，这些技能旨在加强项目研究以及其对综合管理和组织研究的现有和潜在贡献。在此基础上，我们还增加了由编辑团队成员提供的第三年指导，以表达我们(PMJ)对于青年学者的承诺和支持。
At the heart of this endeavor is a structured two-year curriculum that includes four immersive workshops devoted to the art of discussing, reading, reviewing, researching, and writing. A solid understanding of the basics of research is assumed. Our workshops explore advanced skills aimed at enhancing project studies and their existing and potential contributions to our field, general management, and organization studies, more widely. Building on this foundation, we add a third year of mentorship by a member of our editorial team, demonstrating our commitment of PMJ to early career scholars.
我们现在正在寻找第一批学员，从事与项目研究相关的研究工作的10 名博士生和博士后。遴选过程致力于任人唯贤，并有意识地追求多样性，为丰富的知识交流奠定扎实的基础。
We are now seeking candidates for our first cohort of up to 10 doctoral students and post-docs, each embarking on research endeavors connected to project studies. The selection process is committed to meritocracy, complemented by a conscious pursuit of diversity to foster a fertile ground for rich intellectual exchange.
为了实现公平的性别对待、地域多样性和主题的融合，PMI 慷慨地提供财政支持，以帮助一名有困难的学员支付线下研讨会的相关费用。需要申请此财政支持的人必须提交一封信，说明自己的需求。财政支持的遴选标准将基于合理的需求说明和评估标准（见下文）。
To enable equitable gender representation, geographical variance, and a confluence of topics, PMI is graciously offering financial support to help cover expenses associated with in-person workshops to one participant, who may otherwise be unable to attend. Those interested in applying for this financial support are required to submit a letter explaining their need. The selection criteria for financial support will be based on the demonstrated need and the standard evaluation criteria (see as follows).
积极性是重要的，也是必需的。我们希望学员充分参与所有活动，并为研讨会做好准备。我们还希望学员能够撰写出论文并审阅其他学员的论文。通过相互讨论和建设性的意见，实现最大价值。学员将获得参与证书，以证明他们经历的严格选拔过程。请注意，如果我们认为学员缺乏积极性或准备不足，我们有权利拒绝发放参与证书。
Active participation is essential and required. We expect participants to engage fully in all activities and come prepared for the workshops. We also expect participants to craft their manuscripts and review their peers’ work. Much of the value will be realized through mutual discussion and constructive criticism. Amid the numerous benefits bestowed on participants, the participants will receive a certification of participation as a testament to the rigorous process they have undertaken. Please note that we reserve the right to withhold certification if we perceive a lack of active involvement or preparedness from participants.
要申请该计划，请学员提交一封自荐信，表达参与的动机和未来的抱负，一份三页的研究计划。如果需要申请财政支持，请提交一封说明原因的信。
To apply for the program, the candidates are invited to submit a cover letter expressing the motivation to participate and future ambition, a three-page research proposal and, if they want to apply for financial support, a letter explaining why.
