Call for applications for a new DEIC member
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) has an open position and is looking to fill it. We are a dynamic group of committed members who care about SSB and systematics and who want to help their growth. We are currently looking for a new member, in particular at the post-doc career stage (but we will consider any applicant!). If interested, please email your application to the Diversity Director Anahí Espíndola ([email protected]), telling us a little bit about you and your motivations for joining. Also, feel free to reach out if you would like to know more before submitting your application. The call will remain open until a new member is found.
Some more information about the DEIC and what we do:
We are a committee formed by different SSB members at a variety of career stages. Our goal is to celebrate and foster the inclusion of all social, racial, cultural, sexual, gender, dis/ability, and economic groups in the Society by promoting the advancement of the study of systematics for all interested parties at all career stages. To do this, we work with leadership to make SSB a welcoming society where all members can succeed and we assist SSB in promoting and implementing DEI plans. Among other actions, we organize events throughout the year and at SSB’s professional meetings. Some of our past actions included the organization of special Symposia at the Evolution and the standalone meetings, the co-organization of the Story Collider event with the other Tri-Societies (SSE and ASN), the coordination of and planning following the society-wide climate survey, and more.
