Adobe Reader Documents

Adobe Acrobat

This site makes extensive use of PDF forms and documents that were created with Adobe products. To view and print these forms, you'll need to download a free version of Adobe Reader. If you already have Reader on your computer, you do not need to download it again. If you print them out from the Adobe Reader on A4 paper, you will need to select the “shrink-to-fit” option. You may also have to use this option if you print on paper that is either narrower or shorter than the original size (mostly 8-1/2"x11").

2010 Annual Meeting Trainee Information

Trainee/Mentor Luncheon

The Trainee-Mentor Luncheon provides Trainee participants with the opportunity to talk with an SSR scientist about careers and science during a catered lunch. Please check back later for more information.

Trainee Mentoring Award and Trainee Forum

The Trainee Mentoring Award is presented each year at the SSR Annual meeting to an SSR member who has consistently demonstrated a measure of support and guidance to Trainees that far exceeds the basic responsibilities required of an academic advisor. Please check back for more information about the Trainee Mentoring Award and the Trainee Forum.

FASEB MARC Travel Awards to SSR 2010

The FASEB MARC program (http://marc.faseb.org/) offers opportunities for travel awards to the SSR annual meeting for underrepresented trainees. Trainees must be presenting a poster or making an oral presentation. Because SSR is a member of FASEB, interested and eligible individuals may apply for funding to support travel to this year's SSR meeting. Note that the application is restricted to underrepresented trainees who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.A. More information is available at:

Placement Service

The SSR Placement Service provides a vehicle for introducing potential candidates to potential employers seeking to fill predoctoral, postdoctoral, industrial, technical, and faculty positions. Please check back later for up-to-date information.

Roommate Referral Service

Volunteers

The Trainee Volunteer Subcommittee, or TVS, is a committee formed by the Society to provide structured opportunities for trainees to participate in the annual meeting. This year, the Trainee Volunteers are being organized by Dan Poole and Sadie Murdie, who write:

2010 Call for Trainee Volunteers!!!

The 43rd Annual SSR Meeting is rapidly approaching and we need your help to make this year’s meeting a huge success! Trainee volunteers are responsible for the behind the scenes action, including helping with:

  1. Pre-Registration Desk
  2. Slide Preview Room
  3. Signage
  4. Placement Service
  5. Posters
  6. Sessions and Symposia
  7. Social Events
  8. Trainee-Mentor Luncheon

SSR is especially devoted to enhancing the trainee experience; therefore, if you plan to attend this year’s meeting in beautiful lakeside Milwaukee, we strongly urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to participate as a trainee volunteer. Volunteers will receive an SSR t-shirt in appreciation of their help.

AND…it’s a great way to meet peers and network with influential scientists in our field!

Past Volunteer Testimonies - Benefits for All!

“While demonstrating leadership and service to my society I had the opportunity to meet several scientists. Regardless of whether the discussion led to potential career opportunities, help with my own research, or just learning more about the people in our field of study, these conversations were always fruitful.”—Rebecca Bott
“Every little bit of assistance a volunteer can give greatly helps the overall goal of running a seamless meeting that is respected by the scientific community. Furthermore, I met a professor whose work with ovaries has had a great impact on my own thesis project!”—Sadie Murdie
“I will definitely be volunteering for this committee in future meetings as long as I am a trainee.”—Cecily Bishop
