Nomination Procedure

Nomination

Candidates may nominate themselves for the Tollestrup Award. The nomination will consist of a CV and list of publications and invited talks, a short paper (10 or fewer pages) describing their research, and two letters of support from scientists familiar with the work. The research may be conducted in collaboration with others, or as part of a larger project. The award is for a particular research project conducted during the nominee's postdoctoral years, demonstrating the nominee's own scientific insight and creativity. The paper and supporting letters should focus on that project and the nominee's contribution to it.
