Nominations for the CIG EC & SSC: deadline - October 14

Dear CIG Community,

We are soliciting nominations for candidates to fill positions on the CIG Executive Committee (EC, 2 positions) and Science Steering Committee (SSC, 3 positions). One of the SSC positions will be for an Early-Career Researcher (within 4 years from terminal degree). Please send your nominations via email to cwilson@carnegiescience.edu by 14th October. Self nominations are encouraged!

We are committed to developing diverse membership in the committees with representation from different research areas, geographic locations, career stages, and underrepresented groups. CIG enables expertise in the areas of mantle and/or lithospheric geodynamics, seismology, seismic cycles, dynamo, and computer science and currently is focused on developing an emphasis on education and interoperability across fields. Nominations along these lines are especially encouraged this year. Further information on the roles of these committees and current members can be found at Geodynamics - Governance, which now includes documents that detail the responsibilities of the SSC and the EC.

More information on the election process can be found at: Geodynamics - Elections.

Thank you in advance for your nominations.

Sincerely,

Cian Wilson, Juliane Dannberg, Kathryn Materna
