The CMS Research Committee is inviting nominations for three prize 
lectureships. These prize lectureships are intended to recognize members of the 
Canadian mathematical community.

Coxeter-James Prize Lectureship 2009

The Coxeter-James Prize Lectureship recognizes young mathematicians who have 
made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. The selected candidate 
will deliver the prize lecture at the Winter Meeting.

The recipient shall be a member of the Canadian mathematical community. 
Nominations may be made up to ten years from the candidate?s Ph.D: researchers 
having their PhD degrees conferred in 1998 or later will be eligible for 
nomination in 2008 for the 2009 Coxeter-James prize. A nomination can be
