[cmath] Call for nominations - 2010 Doctoral Prize

[Executive Director]

2010 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.
