Research Group committee vacancies

On this page we will collate details of current vacancies on Research Group committees. We expect to have a fuller list in summer 2024 ahead of the Research Group AGMs, which will take place in late August-early September 2024.

If you have any questions please contact us.

 

Economic Geography Research Group (EGRG)

The Economic Geography Research Group of the RGS-IBG are currently looking to pre-emptively fill two committee positions ahead of the summer AGM: Treasurer and Secretary. 

Both of these are important positions in terms of the operation of the group, but neither are onerous in terms of time commitment, and would suit someone looking to develop their personal networks and build their CV. The EGRG committee is a very friendly and committed group who do some really good work in terms of supporting the sub-discipline.

We would like to fill these positions ahead of the summer so that there is plenty of time for handover arrangements to be put in place. Therefore, if you are interested in taking up one of these positions, or would like to find out more, please do feel free to contact the Chair, Allan Watsonm directly at A.Watson3@lboro.ac.uk. 

 

Social and Cultural Geography Research Groups (SCGRG)

The SCGRG Committee is looking for a Social Media Officer (three year post) to join us, particularly to help us promote the activities planned for our 50th anniversary year.

The Social Media Officer of SCGRG will:

  • Take the lead in posting content promoting SCGRG activities on the group’s social media channels.
  • Post content (on either social media and/or the website, as appropriate) generated by other committee members to promote group activities.
  • Provide assistance with maintaining the SCGRG website, ensuring key content (e.g. committee roles, annual conference information) is kept up to date. 
  • Support wider research group activities

This is a critical role for SCGRG so we’re open to approaches from pairs of people who would be keen to share responsibility for the role. 

Please direct any questions or expressions of interest to rebecca.collins@chester.ac.uk by Friday 16 February
