Current Student Representative: Juliet Wright (Oxford Brookes University)

As the PSGB Student Representative it is my job to raise student issues within the society and provide information that might be useful to students interested in primatology.

PSGB Council needs a student representative
The Council of PSGB is in need of a new student representative to serve on Council starting in January 2009. The successful candidate will be nominated by Council for election at the Annual General Meeting in December.
The student council member serves on Council as the voice of the student membership and provides a student perspective on Council matters. The student council member has full voting powers. Ideally, the candidate should be able to attend the three Council meetings per year (transportation costs are covered by Council), attend the PSGB meetings and be at such a stage in their career that they could serve two years on Council. Interested parties or for further details, pleas contact Colleen Schaffner, secretary at: c.schaffner@chester.ac.uk.

Napier Award for best PhD thesis

The Napier Memorial Medal was instituted by the Society in memory of its founding President, Professor John NApier, following a bequest to the Society. The medal is offered every two years to a new primatologist in order to provide encouragement through the public recognition of their work.
To be eligible for consideration candidates must:(1) be either a British subject or a foreign national who has completed a PhD at a UK institution of higher education; (2) have had the final submission of their PhD after June 2007.
Candidates should normally be nominated by a member of the Society, but they may be nominated by their PhD supervisor even if he or she is not a member. The nomination should consist of a CV (including and abstract of the PhD thesis and full list of publications) and two letters of reference (one of which should normally be from the external examiner of the PhD).
