Annual Prize
The UGBoD will award the "2017 JSA Thesis Prize" for the best Jefferson Lab related thesis at the Annual Users Group meeting, scheduled June 18-20, 2018.
2017
For the 2017 competition, the deadline is February 16, 2018 C.O.B. EST (we thank JSA for once again fully funding this prize). A complete package requires a nomination letter by a senior scientist giving the name and institution of the person being nominated and the names of three people who will send letters of recommendation, along with a copy of the thesis. All materials must be submitted electronically. The three letters of recommendation must be sent before the deadline, as well; it is up to the nominator and the candidate for the Prize to follow up on this.
Theses completed during the calendar year 2016 are eligible, as well as theses completed during the last quarter of 2015 (if they haven't been submitted before). The thesis prize submissions will be judged initially by members of UGBoD, followed by a panel of independent experts to select the final winner. Criteria for evaluation include quality of the written thesis, contribution of the student to the work, and contribution to JLab physics/community.
All materials must be sent by email to Lorelei Carlson(lorelei@jlab.org).
Please contact the chair of UGBoD (krishna.kumar@stonybrook.edu) for any questions.
