If you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or new investigator and are interested in serving on the Trainee Advisory Committee, the process is different than for other committees.

1. You must be a member of APS (student or regular, if new investigator)

2. You must belong to an APS section. You can find out what section you belong to or you can sign up for a section by going to the Members only site.

3. Find out when your section representative is due to rotate off the Committee by checking the Committee member list.

4. Find out who the Chair of your section is by going to the appropriate section page and selecting Steering Committee.

5. Contact your section Chair and let him/her know you are interested in serving on the Trainee Advisory Committee. When your section representative is due to rotate off, you will be considered for the vacancy on the Committee.
