Affiliated to GLO JOPE Bonn 2025 (December 3-5, 2025) are online Job Market Sessions for young scholars, which have been very successful in previous years. The submission deadline for these sessions is November 14, 2025. There are no fees.
GLO Young Scholars Program invites job market candidates (PhD students or postdocs currently on the market in North America, Europe or Asia) to submit their research for presentation in dedicated job market sessions. This is a valuable opportunity to showcase your work and gain exposure in a supportive and high-profile environment. A special Q&A mentoring session for the selected presenters will take place after the presentations.
Session Focus: The job market sessions will focus on research related to labor, demography, health, or human resources broadly defined. We welcome submissions from candidates in all related disciplines.
Submission Requirements: Proposals must include:
- A paper or extended abstract of one’s Job Market Paper
- A CV
Submissions can be made either via link or as an attachment.
Session Regions Preferences: The job market sessions will also be organized by region based on their preferences for the timing of their presentations and the market of potential employers:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia
Please indicate your session preference in your submission. Presentations will be in English.
Submission Deadline: All submissions must be received by November 14th, 2025. Notification of decision will be sent on November 20th, 2025.
Submission Process: Please click on the link below (or scan the QR code below) to submit your information and the required documents. If you have any questions regarding the submission process, feel free to contact Dr. Le Wang, Director of GLO Young Scholars Program.
Benefits of Being Selected as a Presenter:
- Presenters are invited to provide a link to their personal websites which will be featured on the GLO website in the conference program, enhancing their portfolio’s visibility within the global research community.
- Presenters will have access to a special Q&A mentoring session focused on the job market experience, where committee members and peers share insights and advice.
- The online format minimizes costs, making participation accessible to candidates with limited financial resources. To further support early-career scholars, registration fees are waived for all job market candidates. This encourages a diverse set of institutions to be represented.
- Gain valuable experience presenting your research in a highly supportive environment, helping you refine your job market pitch and assess the progress of your work.
- Presenters will be eligible for an invitation to join the prestigious GLO network as a research affiliate, providing further opportunities for collaboration and professional growth.
