Join Us!
We are looking for PhD students and early career researchers (ECRs) to join the sub-committee to plan our next conference in 2027. Members of the sub-committee will have the opportunity to build on the success of our 2021, 2023 and 2025 conferences, which were well reviewed by both presenters and over 100 attendees.
The sub-committee will be supported by the SAF Committee to plan and run a two-day conference on a topic relating to Scottish archaeology. This is an excellent opportunity for PhD students and ECRs to connect with the Scottish archaeological community while gaining skills and experience in organising a successful academic conference. Members of the sub-committee will also have the opportunity to influence the future direction of SAF. There will be scope to develop a publication based on the conference.
Each member of the sub-committee will be assigned a particular role relevant to their experience and interests. This can be tailored to the amount of time available. All roles will be supported by the main committee. This is not a significant time commitment outside the period immediately preceding the conference.
No specific experience is required, and committee members will gain skills in:
• Project management
• Funding and grant applications
• Networking
• Communication
• Event planning
• Publication
If you have any questions, please contact Isobel Harvey at 3061728H@student.gla.ac.uk.
To apply, please complete the application form by 31 August 2026:
