With Briana and Caitlin leaving the OPAM team, we are seeking two
new OPAM organizers for two-year terms starting in 2019. Selection of
organizers will be based on candidates’ experience and nomination letter, which
should be sent to <a href="mailto:opam.info@gmail.com">opam.info@gmail.com</a> by <b>February 15th, 2019</b>. Please include a link to the candidate's
website and CV in the nominations. Interested candidates are encouraged to ask
for one nomination from a researcher who knows them well. If that person is not
also the candidate's 2019 supervisor, we require a short letter of approval
from that person. </span></span></p>

interpersonal skills. Preference is given to early-career researchers without
faculty positions at the time of appointment, particularly postdoctoral
researchers.<br>
<br>
Excitement for graduate and postdoctoral research is required!<br>
