Newly Formed Graduate Student and Postdoc (GraSP)
Committee Applications Open
We aim to increase student participation in SSB through the creation of the Graduate Student and Postdoc (GraSP) committee. We are looking for appointed members who will help develop initiatives to promote professional development. Through outreach and different SSB events, GraSP’s objective is to reach, recruit, and represent the interests of student and postdoc members worldwide.
Appointed SSB Student/Postdoc Members
Interested in getting involved in SSB leadership? SSB is seeking applications from graduate students and postdocs for two members of its new Graduate Student and Postdoc (GraSP) committee. Each appointed representative will serve a two-year term on the committee, during which they will: (a) participate in monthly meetings of the student committee; (b) participate in ad hoc committees as required; and, (c) create or contribute to at least one initiative per year (e.g., a mentorship program, social media campaign, or other initiative). Committee members serve a 2-year term.
Applications are now closed for the 2024 cycle.
Elected SSB Student Representatives
The Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB) invites involvement of graduate students in the operations and representation of the organization. Grad students serve a 2-year term.
As a member of SSB Council, the Grad Rep will play an important role in the functioning of SSB and provide input to help shape the future of the Society. Grad Reps help develop initiatives to better serve student members, participate in Council meetings, and engage with student representatives from other societies (e.g., the American Society of Naturalists and the Society for the Study of Evolution).
Grad Reps are expected to be active members of SSB, attend the annual Evolution meeting (registration and one night of accommodation covered by the Society), and serve on the Council for their full 2-year term (extension into postdoctoral work is fine).
Applications are now closed for the 2024 cycle.
