[cmath] Call for nominations: Research Prizes

[Graham Wright]

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 2010

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 1999 or
later will be eligible for nomination in 2009 for the 2010 Coxeter-James prize. A nomination can be
updated and will remain active for a second year unless the original nomination is made in the
tenth year from the candidate’s Ph.D.

Jeffrey-Wiliiams Prize Lectureship 2011

The Jeffery-Williams Prize Lectureship recognizes mathematicians who have made outstanding
contributions to mathematical research. The prize lecture will be delivered at the Summer Meeting.
The recipient shall be a member of the Canadian mathematical community. A nomination can be updated
and will remain active for three years.

Krieger-Nelson Prize Lectureship 2011

The Krieger-Nelson Prize Lectureship recognizes outstanding research by a female mathematician. The
prize lecture will be delivered at the Summer Meeting. The recipient shall be a member of the
Canadian mathematical community. A nomination can be updated and will remain active for two years.


The deadline for nominations is June 30, 2009. Nominations and reference letters should be
submitted electronically, preferably in PDF format, by the appropriate deadline, to
research-prizes at cms.math.ca.

Nominators should ask at least three referees to submit letters directly to the Chair of the CMS
Research Committee by September 30, 2009. Some arms length referees are strongly encouraged.
Nomination letters should list the chosen referees, and should include a recent curriculum vitae
for the nominee, if available.
