The SSE GSAC is looking for three new council members to join our 2024 cohort!

The GSAC represents student and postdoc interests to the SSE Council [2] and facilitates interaction among students and postdocs, and between students, postdocs, and mentors. Our goal is to be a source of information for students and postdocs during their graduate school career and as they make career transitions, and to provide an early-career perspective to the rest of the SSE council. For example, recently we took a leading role in putting on the successful virtual International Symposia [3] Series and the SSE Caregiver Award [4].


GSAC members must be graduate students at the time of application and members of SSE. (Learn more about how to join [5].) Applicants should be organized, possess leadership skills, and be interested in working with SSE Council and members to contribute to the Society. Many more details about our activities throughout the year can be found in our GSAC blog post [6] on the SSE Community Blog. 

We strongly encourage those with non-traditional pathways to graduate school, those from non-R1 universities, and those from outside the United States to apply. GSAC is also committed to diverse representation, and we encourage applicants from historically excluded ethnic, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. 

Visit the GSAC webpage [7] for more information about how to apply. Deadline: July 26, 2023 (any time zone)
