OPAM 2024 Call for Organizers

Dear OPAMers,

We would like to extend special thanks to Chenxiao Guan for her dedicated service to the OPAM community. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Xiaoli Zhang for her invaluable advice and unwavering support to the organizer team. Their leadership, diligence, and enthusiasm were instrumental to the success of OPAM 31, and it was truly a pleasure to work with them.

We are currently seeking to fill two positions as OPAM organizers for two-year terms starting in spring 2024. The selection process will be based on candidates’ experience and nomination letter, which should be sent to opam.info@gmail.com by March 25th, 2024 (extended deadline). We ask that a link to the candidate’s website and a CV is submitted along the nomination letter. Interested candidates are encouraged to seek a nomination from a researcher who knows them well. If that person is not the candidate’s supervisor, we require a short letter of approval from the supervisor.

Criteria for the selection of OPAM organizers include the breadth and depth of research experience and expertise in visual cognition (e.g., familiarity with a broad range of object-processing literature), as well as excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. Preference is given to early-career researchers without faculty positions at the time of appointment, particularly postdoctoral researchers.

We look forward to receiving nominations from qualified candidates eager to contribute to the continued success of OPAM. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at opam.info@gmail.com.

Thanks again to everyone who made OPAM 2023 such a success. Special thanks to our sponsors, who keep OPAM free! Stay tuned for exciting announcements about OPAM 2024 in the coming months.

Sincerely,

The 2024 OPAM organizers

Karolina Krzys, Han Zhang, and Ryan O’Donnell
