Description
The
Phycological Society of America is soliciting
nominations for one or more Awards of Excellence. Recipients of the Award of
Excellence will be chosen on the basis of their sustained scholarly
contributions in, and impact on, the field of phycology, through a
distinguished record of scholarly activity. Nominations will be welcomed for
all fields of research on algae and also should highlight the candidate's
service to PSA and/or other phycological societies.
The Award is a career achievement award for a living phycologist. Membership in
the PSA is not a requirement for nomination.
Nomination
packages should include a single nominating letter from a PSA member
highlighting the reasons for the nomination. The candidate should acknowledge
his/her nomination and also provide a complete C.V. (including information
relating to teaching and service). The committee requests 4 additional names
(and e-mail contact information) submitted to provide letters of support. The
nominator is required to confirm that these individuals have agreed to write
letters within two weeks of being contacted by the Committee. Nominations
received for the previous year for nominees who were not selected will
automatically be reconsidered this year. Updates to nomination packages
submitted last year are not required but an updated C.V. can be substituted for
the prior version if submitted by the nomination deadline. Nominations made
prior to last year will not automatically be reconsidered but completely new
nomination packages for such candidates will receive full consideration.
Nominations
will be welcomed for all fields of research/teaching on algae and also should
highlight the candidate's service to PSA and/or other phycological societies. Inquires and/or electronic nomination materials should be
