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 one new postdoctoral representative and one graduate-student representative.

To apply, email the following materials to vss at visionsciences.org <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org>  by March 3, 2025.

In a single PDF file, labeled YOURLASTNAME_SPC2025, include the following:

1. Current CV, including current institutional affiliation and contact information

2. Personal statement: max 1-page detailing reasons for wanting to serve on the SPC, prior experience, and aspects of your background relevant to this call for service

3. List of previous VSS conferences attended

4. Statement of intention to attend VSS 2025 and 2026 as a student/postdoc VSS member

5. Names and contact information (including email) of two individuals willing to support the nomination
