[Cuga] JSA Postdoctoral Research Prize- A message from Larry Weinstein

[Lorelei Chopard]

This year, the JSA Initiatives Fund is again sponsoring the JSA 
Postdoctoral Research Prize. The competition is run by the Users 
GroupBoard of Directors, with the intention of honoring and supporting 
our finest postdocs.

The ground rules are:

- All entries must be emailed to Lorelei Chopard:lorelei at jlab.org by 
Jan. 27, 2017.


- All nominees must be within five years of graduation, and in a postdoc 
or equivalent position (at JLab, a University, or a National Lab) at the 
time of nomination.


- Postdocs in both experiment and theory are eligible. Previous winners 
are not eligible to apply.


- Entries should include a research statement (five page limit) and CV 
by the nominee, along with three letters of reference. The research 
statement should describe past work and future plans and should include 
a preliminary budget with a total budget not to exceed $10K.All 
materials may be emailed in separately.


-The competition will be judged by the Users Group Board of Directors.


- The basis for picking the top candidate includes a record of 
accomplishment in physics, a planned high impact Jefferson Lab physics 
program, proposed use of the research grant, and promise of further 
accomplishments in the Jefferson Lab research fields in the future.

The Prize will be in the form of a research grant. The funds can be used 
for travel, supplies, or equipment in support of the proposed research 
plan.The research plan need not be new or independent of the candidate's 
current research program, but the quality and novelty of the proposed 
research is considered in the evaluation process.

This project is supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program

(http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IFProjects.html), a commitment from the JSA 
owners, SURA and PAE Applied Technologies. Initiatives Funds support 
programs, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific 
outreach, promote the science, education and technology of the Jefferson 
Lab and benefit the Lab's extended user community in ways that 
complement the Lab's basic and applied research missions.
