Junior Scientists
The Committee for the Concerns of Junior Scientists Charter
This Committee shall act as a liaison between junior scientists and the American
Physical Society-Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP), seeking to represent their
interests and to promote their participation and advancement within plasma physics.
The membership of this committee shall consist of two APS-DPP members, a chair and
a co-chair. Every two years, the co-chair will become chair, and the DPP Chair will
appoint a new co-chair and it is recommended that the committee members be junior
scientists. As part of the committee's duties, it is recommended that a special
event for the benefit of junior scientists be organized at the fall DPP annual meeting
in coordination with the DPP chair. In addition, in order to facilitate the
participation of junior scientists in DPP activities, it is recommended that
the committee maintain an up to date database of junior scientists in the division.
Current ideas for committee activities include:
- Panel discussion at the APS-DPP annual meeting to include representatives from
NIF, ITER, and/or DOE
- Encourage increased exposure for junior scientists at the APS-DPP annual meeting
(i.e., invited session for junior scientists)
- Survey on concerns of junior scientists
Committee members:
Tim Gray, Swarthmore College (Chair)
Dylan Brennan, University of
Tulsa (Vice Chair)
Jill Foley, PPPL (Past Chair)
