Student-Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (SPC). Members of the SPC are graduate
students and postdoctoral scholars, who work together and with members of the
VSS Board of Directors to enhance VSS's responsiveness to the needs of our
trainee members and early career researchers.

Service on the SPC is an excellent way to develop a track record of community
service and professional skills such as team building, networking, project
design and management.

VSS seeks a diverse set of applicants, 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. 

This year we are seeking two new postdoctoral representatives and one
graduate-student representative.

To apply, email the following materials to vss at visionsciences.org
<mailto:vss at visionsciences.org>  by March 13, 2024:

information

SPC, prior experience, and aspects of your background relevant to this call for

4. Statement of intention to attend VSS 2024 and 2025 as a student/postdoc VSS
member
5. Names and contact information (including email) of two individuals willing to
