There is a vacancy in the Post-Compulsory SIG for a new convenor. The sector of post-compulsory education and lifelong learning is a wide and diverse one, covering areas such as the study of 14-19 education and training, further and higher education, adult education, informal learning and lifelong learning.

This SIG aims to facilitate and stimulate debate amongst researchers in the field and assist them in communicating their work to inform understanding and to influence post-compulsory and lifelong learning education policy and practice. We also particularly welcome researchers and those interested in research in this sector, who are based in public and private institutions and organisations, beyond higher education institutions.

• Preparing text for a regular (ideally once per term) newsletter to SIG members.
• Hosting at least one annual SIG forum meeting for all members (organised via the ½¿É«µ¼º½ office)

• Grouping together abstracts for the conference.
• Succession planning.
• SIG events

If multiple expressions of interest are received an election will be run.

SIG Convenors are expected to exercise their own judgment to meet the requirements listed in ½¿É«µ¼º½ guidance and to seek further advice from the ½¿É«µ¼º½ Office if in any doubt on any of these matters.
