Call for Nominations - 2007 Doctoral Prize

The CMS Doctoral Prize recognizes outstanding performance by a doctoral
student. The prize is awarded to the person who received a Ph.D.
from a Canadian university in the preceding year (January 1st to
December 31st) and whose overall performance in graduate school is judged
to be the most outstanding. Although the dissertation will be the most
important criterion (the impact of the results, the creativity of the work,
the quality of exposition, etc.) it will not be the only one. Other
publications, activities in support of students and other
accomplishments will also be considered.

Nominations that were not successful in the first competition, will be
kept active for a further year (with no possibility of updating the file)
and will be considered by the Doctoral Prize Selection Committee in the
following year's competition.

The CMS Doctoral Prize will consist of an award of $500, a two-year
complimentary membership in the CMS, a framed Doctoral Prize certificate
and a stipend for travel expenses to attend the CMS meeting to receive
the award and present a plenary lecture.
