Researchers are central to everything we do at ORCID, and we are looking for researchers to join our ORCID Researcher Advisory Council.
ORCID Researcher Advisory Council (ORAC)To ensure that we keep the researcher at the center of everything we do at ORCID, the Board created the ORCID Researcher Advisory Council (ORAC) in 2021. ORAC is a diverse group of researchers who provide valuable perspective and advice to ORCID staff and the ORCID Board as we seek to ensure that ORCID provides value and utility to researchers and aids in the process of research and innovation.
Council members meet virtually twice a year. These meetings are generally an hour long; due to the wide distribution of timezones may take place outside of your standard working hours. In between meetings, Council members are invited to participate in an online forum to discuss and consult on topics as they arise. Council members serve for a two-year term.
How to ApplyIf you are interested in serving on ORAC, you may nominate yourself or a colleague (with their permission) by completing the form below.
Nominations must be received by 26 June.
All applications received will be reviewed by ORCID staff, including the Executive Director and Director of Product. Staff will give preference to researcher candidates who display two or more of the following characteristics:
- Are researchers knowledgeable and enthusiastic about ORCID
- Have a track record of advocating on behalf of ORCID in their communities
- Have experience or a keen interest in organizational governance
Please note that staff may follow up with you after you submit your application to schedule an interview, complete a board skills survey, or ask follow-up questions.
If you are unable to complete this online form, please send your responses to nominations@orcid.org.
If you have specific questions about ORAC or the nominations process, you can email us at nominations@orcid.org
We look forward to learning more about you!
