Conference Working Group is looking for new members

Conference Working Group (CWG) was established to facilitate the development of a high quality, innovative and topical programme for ARMA’s Annual Conference. We are looking for new members to join the working group.

As a CWG member, you will be involved in developing the programme, identifying speakers and potential sessions, the abstract submission process and aiding the smooth running of the conference, including chairing sessions. New members will be involved in the development of a programme for ARMA 2025 and beyond.

CWG members are appointed on a 3-year basis with an option for a second term. The working group meets four times a year, once in-person and others via teleconference. To view the CWG Terms of Reference, please click here.

We are particularly interested in hearing from all members of the UK research professional community including those working in universities, research institutes, independent research organisations, public sector research establishments, research funders, NHS Trusts, Catapult centres and charitable organisations, including Trusts and Foundations. The vacancies are open to all career stages and appropriate guidance, mentoring and support will be provided for all successful applicants.

To express interest, contact Amaka Nwagbara Amaka.Nwagbara@arma.ac.uk (subject line: ‘Conference Working Group vacancies’) with a short CV and a supporting statement (no more than 400 words) summarising what you think you could bring to the role. Please note you are not required to be an ARMA member at the time of application, but successful applicants will be required to join ARMA before serving on the working group.

If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity or would like an informal chat, please contact Amaka.Nwagbara@arma.ac.uk

The closing date for expressions of interest has been extended to 5pm on Wednesday 26 June 2024.
