The Psi-k forum mailing lists are now closed permanently. Please read this announcement about the new Psi-k mailing list.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Chair's Announcement: New Psi-k Mailing Lis ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
To all in the Psi-k Community,
This is a reminder about the new Psi-k mailing list[1]. The new platform is Jiscmail, which is the UK’s national academic mailing list service. The new mailing list address is [email protected].
Some features of the new mailing list include:
1. Only members may post to the list, but membership is open to anyone by clicking “subscribe” at the mailing list's webpage https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psik-forum
2. To limit fake subscriptions, when you request membership of the list, you will receive a confirmation email that needs to be responded to before subscription is activated.
3. To limit inadvertent emails, when you post a message, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you wish to send the message.
4. Messages are held until a moderator (one of the Trustees) releases it, so there will be a short delay between sending your message and it being disseminated to the list.
5. No attachments are permitted and messages with attachments will be automatically rejected. Instead, please host your attachment on an external server/platform and provide the link in your post.
6. Messages are archived publicly on the mailing list’s webpage.
7. There is a code of conduct that members must adhere to, which is available to view upon subscription.
The old mailing list will remain suspended for general posts from the community, but will continue to be used for important Psi-k announcements during a transition period, which will be until the Psi-k Conference at the end of August 2025.
In summary, if you wish to post and/or remain informed of announcements from the Psi-k community (job adverts, events, etc), then please join the new mailing list now via the link above!
Best wishes,
Arash Mostofi
Psi-k Chair
[1] New posts to the old mailing list have been suspended because the list has grown beyond the capacity of the platform around which it was built. The Board of Trustees recently resolved to move to a new platform. I would like to thank members of the Psi-k Working Groups and Scientific Advisory Committee for beta-testing the new system. I would also like to thank Mike Towler for all his work and dedication in setting up and maintaining the old mailing list over many years.
