Call for new committee members 2021-22

As the PGRNS is moving into its 6th year we would like to invite new members to join the committee. We have been overwhelmed by the fascinating work being done by postgraduates in gender across Scotland and we continue to facilitate a platform for gender researchers to connect and exchange ideas across disciplines and institutions.

Committee Member Responsibilities: 

  • Running the email on a weekly rotation
  • Running the social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) on a weekly rotation by posting relevant news, funding and job opportunities, CfPs and events to our followers
  • Organising relevant blog posts on a monthly rotation. This can also mean delegating the blog post to a friend or fellow academic who is interested in writing about gender
  • Writing the newsletter and bulletin on a monthly rotation
  • Organising a workshop and/or a conference

Being a committee member will provide you with crucial experience for your academic CV:

  • Running a research network, organising a workshop and/or a conference, managing social media accounts and running a blog

And just as important; it gives you a unique opportunity to meet some extraordinary PGR students across Scotland to network and to form research collaborations and friendships.

If you are interested please apply by emailing us at pgrnscot@gmail.com by with: 

  • Your Name
  • Institution
  • Discipline/Area of study
  • A few lines about why you would like to join the committee and what you would bring to the role.

Deadline for applications: 24th September 2021
