Various open opportunities for involvement with IBRO!

Call for Neuroscience Chief Editors

Juan Lerma, who has served as Editor-in-Chief of IBRO’s journal Neuroscience for an extended period, will step down by the end of 2023. IBRO has therefore opened a call for expressions of interest to take on the reins of Neuroscience from January 2024 onwards. With a view to position the journal in the best possible situation within a challenging global landscape of scientific publishing, an editorial structure based around a global team of dedicated Chief Editors is envisioned. Motivated and experienced scientists with a keen interest in, and understanding of the role of society journal publishing are warmly encouraged to express their interest on or before 31 August 2023.

Call for members of IBRO’s five Regional Committees

The Regional Committees are, as I’m sure that you know, centrally involved in delivering IBRO’s mission across the five IBRO world regions. Recruitment of engaged new members for these committees is therefore of high importance to IBRO in order to ensure the best possible reach and impact of our programs globally. There are open slots for members in all five IBRO Regional Committees. Proposals of new members are made on behalf of, and by each of IBRO’s close to 100 member organizations, and by the members of the IBRO Executive Committee. Motivated individuals who wish to be involved in delivering IBRO’s mission in their region are warmly encouraged to contact a member society of IBRO for their nomination or contact IBRO directly for support in this regard via secretariat@ibro.org. Proposals for new members should be received on or before 23 June 2023.

New members of IBRO’s Early Career Committee

The IBRO Early Career Committee (ECC) is a global network of 15 self-organized early career scientists who have transitioned within the past years to manage their own independent research programs. It is well known that this transition to independence often represents a critical stage in a scientific career, where new skill sets and networks are particularly important. The ECC is critically important for IBRO as a means to respond to the specific needs of this group of scientists. Furthermore, the ECC functions as an important voice towards IBRO’s leadership and Regional Committees. As this group of excellent scientists are tomorrow’s global scientific leaders, IBRO clearly has a significant interest in recruiting highly motivated individuals who share our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Self-nomination, or nomination, is open until 30 June 2023.
