Roles and Responsibilities of the PGD Student Advisory Members

This position, open to currently enrolled graduate students, offers students an opportunity to actively engage with the PGD officers and planetary community in an important role on this service committee. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, updating and maintaining the Student Opportunities page on the PGD website, helping to staff and provide student-related materials at the PGD booth during the GSA annual meeting and at LPSC, running the annual button design contest, serving as a PGD representative to the GSA Student Advisory Council, and participating in and taking notes for regularly scheduled PGD telecons. This is a two-year position (second year as a Senior Student Advisor), and includes one partial travel award to attend and present first-author research at the annual GSA meeting.
