Call for TRF Associate Members
TRF is a community by us for us. It’s success, therefore, is dependent on the work we do as a community to maintain, promote, and advance it. We are ready, therefore, to open up to the community to more people for their involvement, help, and contribution. This is the first call for actively engaging in TRF’s activities.
We are opening up Associate Member positions meant for junior timing researchers like graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The details of the open positions are:
TRF Social Media & News Manager
TRF has built a strong social media presence (on Facebook and Twitter) and would like to provide it’s members with latest information and news related to timing research. The position, therefore, will require the candidate to keep track of timing related news including:
- a) publication of new papers, journal special issues, and books
- b) timing events, conferences, workshops etc.
- c) grants and funding opportunities
- d) job openings at the doctoral, postdoctoral, and faculty level.
This position requires daily commitment, experience with social media, and well-rounded interest and interaction with timing-related information.
TRF Mailing list Moderator:
TRF aims to establish and maintain a highly interactive community. This interaction will partially be accomplished through a mailing list. This mailing list will be for members only and will aim to:
- a) Keep TRF members informed of news, events etc. and
- b) Open discussions between members for various timing related issues.
It is pertinent, therefore, to maintain a mailing list that is free from junk or other spam information. The Moderator will have to regularly approve or reject incoming messages. This position requires daily commitment and some experience with Majordomo is preferred but not required.
TRF Bloggers:
TRF would like to appoint interested graduate students/postdoctoral researchers to write short summaries of latest papers in timing research for the official website. You can choose any paper of your choice and be required to write about at least one paper per month.
