<pre>This year, the JSA Initiatives Fund is again sponsoring the JSA
Postdoctoral Research Prize. The competition is run by the Users Group
Board of Directors, with the intention of honoring and supporting our
finest postdocs.
The ground rules are:
- All entries must be emailed to Lorelei Chopard: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://mailman.jlab.org/mailman/listinfo/cuga">lorelei@jlab.org</a> by
Jan. 22, 2016.
- 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
(<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IFProjects.html">http://www.jsallc.org/IF/IFProjects.html</a>), 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.</pre>
