Scientist PAC Membership – Call for Nominations

Deadline Date: June 15, 2005

The Scientist Professional Advisory Committee (SciPAC) is seeking motivated commissioned corps and civil service scientists who are interested in serving as members on this committee. The SciPAC provides advice and consultation to the Office of the Surgeon General and to the Scientist Chief Professional Officer on professional and personnel issues. Members represent a cross-section of the disciplines, interests, concerns, and responsibilities of scientific professionals in Operating Divisions/Staff Divisions and non-Department of Health and Human Services organizations to which officers are assigned.

Each year nominations are sought to fill vacancies. The full SciPAC meets monthly with teleconference links, so travel is not required for membership. The term of appointment is 3 years and SciPAC members are expected to actively participate in at least one subcommittee during their term of service. Exciting opportunities await in the Mentoring, Emergency Preparedness, Recruitment and Retention, Visibility, Rules, Career Development, and Awards Subcommittees. More information about the SciPAC and membership responsibilities may be found in the Scientist Handbook, which is available on the category Web site – http://www.usphs-scientist.org/handbook/Hbook-versions.htm.

Commissioned corps and civil service scientists who are interested in serving are encouraged to self-nominate. Interested individuals should submit a current curriculum vitae summary page, a one-page cover letter describing their interest, and a SciPAC Self-Nomination form signed by the officer and their supervisor (available on the SciPAC Web site at http://usphs-scientist.org/). This information is due by June 15, 2005 to the Scientist PAC Chair (see address below). Submissions by e-mail are encouraged. New appointment terms begin on September 1, 2005.
