Young Scientist Award

 

The CGU Young Scientist Awards recognize outstanding research contributions by young scientists who are members of the CGU. Both the quality and impact of research are considered. To be eligible for the award, the recipient must be within 10 years of obtaining their first Ph.D. or equivalent degree. The awards are made by the CGU Executive on the recommendations of a special committee struck for this purpose. The selection committee seeks formal written nominations from the membership, plus letters of support and a current curriculum vitae.

Nominations for the CGU Young Scientist Awards may be submitted by CGU members at any time. If you would like to nominate a candidate, please contact Dr. Cherie Westbrook, Chair of the CGU Awards Committee (Email: cherie.westbrook@usask.ca).

The nominations should be supported by three letters of recommendation from colleagues. Nominations should be submitted by February 28, 2012, for award given in May 2012, at the annual scientific meeting. Additional details concerning the nomination process can be obtained from the Chair of the CGU Awards Committee.
