This election will be held in conjunction with the PSA General Assembly Meeting and the postdoctoral lunch and seminar. The PSA will report and discuss on activities from its previous year and highlight activities for the coming year. In addition, we will have Jutta Strate Meyer from Argonne’s Newcomer Office and Penny Kolpacki and Suellen Cook from Argonne Clubs showcasing available resources for new postdocs.
Nominations are solicited for the following PSA officer posts:
– President
– Vice President
– Secretary
– Liaison
Duties for the various positions are described in the attached PSA bylaws, which may be found at http://www.dep.anl.gov/postdocs/psa/. All positions are for a one year term.
Please email your nominations, including self-nominations, to: [email protected] (subject: PSA officer nomination) by close of business on November 8, 2013.
Postdocs who are nominating someone other than themselves are strongly encouraged to get pre-approval from the nominee before sending us the nomination. All nominations are anonymous, meaning that no postdoc, including current PSA officers, will ever know of them.
We eagerly expect an exciting field of candidates.
