Dear Colleagues,
Following a 3 year rotation, the UGRG are looking to fill the following positions
on its committee:
Communications Editor
Book Review Editor
Awards and Prizes Coordinator
Events Coordinator (2 posts)
Elections to these posts will be held at the group’s annual AGM at this year’s
RGS-IBG Conference: at 13.10 on Wednesday 26th August in room 143
University Place, The University of Manchester main campus on Oxford Road.
The UGRG is an active and inclusive research group. Its committee is involved
in a number of initiatives designed to foster research and learning in Urban
Geography, including seed grants for young researchers, and a very successful
annual conference.
Involvement on the committee provides an excellent opportunity to extend
your networks in the sub discipline, and is widely recognized as a ‘marker of
esteem’ in academic circles. Posts are usually held for a period of 3 years.
The current committee has a strong representation of post-graduate students
and early career researchers, and we are especially keen to attract new
members who might be slightly further on in their academic career.
The RGS requires that nominations for named posts should be in writing and
include the names of the proposer and seconder. Nominations can be accepted
up to (and at) the beginning of the AGM. If you would like to discuss these
posts and what they involve, please do get in touch.
In the mean time, I hope these positions are of interest and look forward to
seeing you at our AGM.
Yours truly
Jon May
