Who may join SEAMHC?
The Society has four categories of membership for researchers and students in psychology or related disciplines: Regular member, Student member (graduate or undergraduate), Affiliate, and Emeritus.
-
Regular members:
As per the Society's bylaws, Regular members shall hold a Ph.D. or (in the determination of the Board) have equivalent experience and be qualified to conduct scientific research on applied issues concerning memory and cognition. Regular members may choose the 2-year payment options with a $10 reduction. Only Regular members are eligible to vote in SARMAC elections or to serve on the Society's Board of Governors. Regular members also enjoy certain advantages, as specified in Article VI of the Society bylaws.
Early-career researchers are deemed to be Regular members but receive a discounted membership rate. The Society defines early-career researcher status as being less than 10 years post PhD conferral Full-Time Equivalent (i.e., recognising career interruptions relating to, for example, medical leave and parental/family leave). Early-career researchers must provide the year their PhD was conferred when prompted at the check-out. Confirmation of doctoral degree conferral may be requested by the Executive Director at any time. When registering for ECR membership or applying for the J. Don Read Early Career Award, individuals who are more than 10 years post-PhD will be asked to briefly explain the nature of their career interruptions.
-
Student members:
Graduate and undergraduate students in psychology or related disciplines may apply for Student membership status.
-
Affiliate members:
People without a Ph.D. or equivalent experience can join as Affiliate members, as can those who are not researchers or students but who support the Society’s aims.
-
Emeritus members:
Colleagues who have been Regular members for three or more years may request Emeritus membership status upon retirement by contacting the Executive Director.
