ASPB has an exciting opportunity for early career plant scientist members to get involved in ASPB and, in the process, help shape the future of the Society by becoming an Early Career Representative (ECR) on ASPB standing committees. This is a two-year appointment. In the second year, ECRs will also serve as the committee representative to the Early Career Plant Council (ECPS) and will be expected to mentor the first year ECR newly appointed to the same committee.
This year, each of the committees listed below will appoint one early career professional, defined as an ASPB member in good standing who began their graduate studies no more than eight years ago. Each appointee will serve up to two consecutive years, starting on October 1, 2021.
