WANTED: Student Representatives British Human Computer Interaction Group
The British Human Computer Interaction Group is keen to recruit students to join the group's executive committee as student representatives. You are, ideally, a new postgraduate student working for a PhD or about to start a master's degree: it is important that you are in a position to commit to the Group for at least a year, ideally two.
Student membership of the executive is the ideal way to get a close-up, inside view of HCI in the UK, and increasingly abroad as we develop our links with international organisations. If you want to pursue a career in HCI, this is the place to be!
As a student representative you will be responsible for the following:
- Represent the student body of the Group to the committee.
- Generate ideas (with other students?) to improve the quality of the student package.
- Act as a voice for student issues on the executive committee
It is in the nature of the Exec committee that your personal suggestions and initiatives are encouraged and will be enthusiastically received.
Each student representative will also serve on one of the five subgroups (Membership, Communications, Events, Research and Education and Practice) and as well as supporting each committee's chair in the day to day running of the committee will have the chance to extend or develop an interest in one of the five areas.
Reps should be prepared to commit to attend up to four meetings of the subcommittee per year, plus other contributions via electronic communication and input to the group's products and services. Meetings are held all around the country: all reasonable expenses are paid for, but all committee members' time is contributed on a voluntary basis.
INTERESTED?
To apply send a CV and cover letter or email stating which of the two subgroups would be your first a second choice and the experience or qualities that you have that support those choices.
