For specific eligibility questions, please contact INS staff ([email protected]). In addition to self-nominations, we also welcome recommendations of colleagues that you feel should be considered for this opportunity. Please provide their name and contact information through the nomination form, and describe why you feel the individual would be a good fit to serve on one of these new committees.

Selections will be made in consultation with the Nominating Committee and the INS President. Their decisions regarding appointments to the committee will be final. All nominees will receive correspondence regarding the decision by March 15. Diversity and InclusionAs part of the International Neuroethics Society’s commitment to a representative and expansive vision of neuroethics, we welcome applicants from underrepresented or marginalized groups. We encourage nominees writing their statements of interest to highlight any aspect of themselves — including identity, national origin, life experience, or other considerations — relevant to our efforts to better include, support, and/or empower underrepresented communities. While nominees and individuals serving on the committee must have an active membership with INS, we encourage broad dissemination of this call so that people who are not currently members but interested in joining the Society and volunteering for this opportunity, have the chance to do so.

There are several open seats and an explanation of eligibility is listed below. Terms are for two (2) years with the potential to be renewed for an additional term. Nominees do not need to be current INS members to be considered, and we strongly encourage people from underrepresented or marginalized groups to apply.

Examples of early career trainees include recent graduates serving in a postdoctoral position, medical residents or fellows, judicial law clerks / articled students at law firms, and contract or sessional instructors in their first or second years out of graduate training.
