Apply to join the UKPF Committee
The UKPF is looking to formalise its committee, with elections of roles to be held at the first Annual General Meetting on 12th November.
Over the next two weeks we would like to invite any members interested in joining the UKPF committee to submit a preliminary application by completing this form by 10th of October: Please note this form is now closed and we will shortly be publishing candidate biographies in advanced of the AGM.
At this point, we are only seeking an indication of the part of the committee you are most interested in applying for. Once we have an idea of who would like to run, we will contact all interested applicants about the specific roles. We want to ensure that we have experience and enthusiasm covering all our key functions.
We will then ask the candidates asked to write a brief paragraph introducing themselves to the community, and demonstrating their suitability for the role they would like to fulfil. And publish this on the website ahead of elections at the AGM.
The committee will consist of:
Terms will be for either 1 or 2 years to set up a staggered committee renewal and to preserve institutional knowledge.
We encourage applications from all career stages (e.g. masters/PhD students up to senior researchers and professors) and from all demographic backgrounds and all institutions.
