The Vision Sciences Society (VSS) is seeking applications for two vacancies on
its Student-Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (SPC). Successful applicants will
join the four continuing members of the current VSS SPC.

Members of the SPC are graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The SPC
works together and with the members of the VSS Board of Directors to make VSS as
responsive as possible to the needs of our trainee members and early career
researchers. SPC members work as a team, meeting about once per month.

The SPC has designed and led workshops and other conference events dealing with
issues of importance to young investigators in the vision sciences. These
include transitions to careers, new developments in open science, and
inclusivity and accessibility. An SPC member also serves as a member of the VSS
committee to promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Finally, the SPC serves as an advisory body to the VSS Board of Directors. The
Board consults the SPC often, especially when developing conference events or
considering new society policies that impact young investigators. The SPC is
currently sharing ideas about how to add new and useful resources to the VSS
website. SPC members also meet with VSS Board members at the conference and in
virtual meetings during the year.

Service on the SPC is a great way to develop a track record of community service
to enhance a curriculum vitae and to develop professional skills such as
team-building and project design and management. 

VSS seeks a diverse set of applicants for its two open seats on the SPC, so that
this committee can continue to represent young investigators at a variety of
career stages, who study a variety of topics and who reside in different regions
of the globe. Graduate students, even early in careers, are especially
encouraged to apply.
