Nominations open for Plasma Physics Division election
Nominations are now open for six positions on the board of the European Physical Society Plasma Physics Division. The duties of the Plasma Physics Division board members are “to promote excellent in research by rewarding researchers who have achieved outstanding scientific or technological results; to coordinate activities with other physical societies; to regularly attend board meetings; and to become individual members of the European Physical Society.”
These elections follow on from the appointment, last December, of Sylvie Jacquemot as the upcoming chair of the board; replacing Carlos Hidalgo, whose term of service will end in autumn this year. Elected candidates will join Jacquemot on the board, along with vice-chair Richard Dendy; remaining board members Dirk Van Eester, Javier Honrubia, and Thomas Klinger, Bertrand Lembege; and ex-officio members Leo Gizzi and Holger Kersten.
The deadline for nominations is 15 April this year. Voting, held by email, will then take place between 15 May and 15 June, with the new board announced at the EPS/ICPP-2012 conference, in Stockholm, on 2-6 July.
