May 21-26

Applications for the VSS Student-Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (SPC) due by March 12

The Vision Sciences Society welcomes applications for three vacancies on the VSS Student-Postdoctoral Advisory Committee. Successful applicants will join the three continuing members of the current VSS Student-Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (SPC).

The mandate of the SPC is to share ideas and proposals about how VSS events, workshops, meeting structure and activities can best meet the needs of trainee members and early career researchers. The SPC participates in the design and operation of VSS events and workshops that are relevant to the needs and interests of early career researchers. Serving on the SPC, as well as facilitating or leading any resulting activities, are also useful professional experiences for the engaged trainees.

In the past year, SPC members contributed to the design and operation of conference events, including for the upcoming V-VSS 2021. They provided valuable advice and perspectives to the VSS board about aspects of the conference and the organization that are relevant to trainees and early career researchers. Members of the SPC meet both independently and with VSS Board members several times per year. See  <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019lU5tW3VR-qPRLQCX-mR1holkmO14tUaCe9DVx1Hzz0RpMVDK4rfg2MDL42vTwBzXSrVQqlDCvrzOwsDDqdOh3yjafiVNms5zZymDNLejGQJPMX-FI3Djm0_AjpvJ4evWxsYQR4va6imzwygcgUzXU5RlGeyHYvj5KAureebFEFmAT2pZ82bJMMzsJnnzsWM_6_qDx7GB08=&c=vMkTzC4PtwmA0lkYCtRBTyK9TKInQaSSmPuy3dKid9FUHLXBIJQdTg==&ch=w5LmyT7uOr4KWMcZfQiEQ3x7Evbq4lC9g3yCb8tUMYbr3xriIJmk6A==> Student Postdoc Events for descriptions of the events led by SPC at V-VSS 2020. 

Membership is for a period of one year, beginning on the first day of the Annual Meeting, with the opportunity for appointment to a second year. 

VSS wants to send its appreciation to the current committee for their outstanding service in 2020/2021: Stacey Aston, Kathryn Bonnen, Matthew Boring, Cristina Ceja, Björn Jörges, and J. Brendan Ritchie (see  <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019lU5tW3VR-qPRLQCX-mR1holkmO14tUaCe9DVx1Hzz0RpMVDK4rfg1ikdt8u8FN6idj8I3NWHi23kskLRwR1tHKurC3vIz2kskak-T5xmpxRQg5kaJErAR8RanHVmv8j0YsJwgGtHMdM5wz6rhbxHOGTgUJHFlifKcjRxyNydaU=&c=vMkTzC4PtwmA0lkYCtRBTyK9TKInQaSSmPuy3dKid9FUHLXBIJQdTg==&ch=w5LmyT7uOr4KWMcZfQiEQ3x7Evbq4lC9g3yCb8tUMYbr3xriIJmk6A==> Student Postdoc Advisory Committee).
