In
addition
to belonging to a research community with similar
interests, benefits of SSHB membership include receiving the Annals at
a much-reduced rate (including online access) and reduced registration
fees at the Society's Symposia.
How to apply for membership
Membership of the Society is open to those who work
or have worked in the field of human biology, as defined on the home
page. Membership is by election. Applicants are nominated by two
Ordinary Members using the form that can be downloaded below or
appearing in the Annals. If it is not possible to find two existing
members to nominate you, please attach a CV to your application.
Applications are scrutinised by the Committee. Recommendations are made
to the membership at the AGM for approval.

Membership
subscriptions
Subscriptions are due on 1st January each
year. Subscriptions for 2009 are UK£42 per annum for ordinary members (please note price
increase) and UK£1 per annum for retired members (please note that this
this does not include a subscription to the Annals but does normally
entitle the retired member to reduced rate admission to SSHB meetings).
Students (those following courses leading to diplomas or degrees and
graduates registered for higher degrees) pay a single subscription of
£5 on joining the SSHB, which also normally entitles the member to
reduced rate admission to meetings. If students and retired members
wish to receive the Annals, they have the option of paying a special
reduced rate of 60% of the ordinary member subscription per annum.
Members
should
send subscriptions to the SSHB Treasurer.
Payment should be in pounds sterling or the equivalent after bank
charges. Payment may be made by Standing Order on a UK bank. The
Society strongly encourages members to pay their subscriptions at the
beginning of each calendar year. Unfortunately, the SSHB is
unable to receive payments made by direct debit and can only accept
credit card payments under exceptional circumstances; please contact
the Treasurer for further information. Late payment may result in a
delay in receiving the Annals of Human Biology.
North
American members should send an annual subscription of US$70 as a
dollar check to the SSHB North America
Secretary/Treasurer, made payable to the Society for the Study of
Human Biology.
List of members and email list
The SSHB membership list is published from time-to-time
in the Annals. The paid up membership of the SSHB will be published in
a forthcoming issue of the Annals. The membership list can also
be downloaded

The SSHB has a mailing list for
members. Notices of upcoming meetings of interest to members, details
of job vacancies and studentships, grants, bursaries and so on can be
