31st Annual SSRL Users' Meeting

October 20-22, 2004 :: Menlo Park, California

SSRLUOEC Nominations

The SSRL Users' Organization Executive Committee (SSRLUOEC) is a voluntary organization which serves as an advisory panel to communicate user needs or concerns to SSRL management and to the SLAC Scientific Policy Committee. More broadly, the SSRLUO EC helps advocate the role synchrotrons play in the scientific enterprise.

We are currently soliciting nominations for six general positions in the following disciplines: materials/chemistry (2); biospectroscopy (1), macromolecular crystallography (2), and ultrafast science (1). In addition, we need nominations for a graduate student member of the committee (in any discipline). All members are elected by the SSRL user community per discipline and majority vote and serve a two-year term, with the exception of the person elected Chair who serves a three-year term. All newly elected members begin their term following the Users' Meeting, October 21-22.

The current SSRLUOEC membership follows with vacancies to be filled denoted with an asterisk (*):
