SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award
The SIGDA Outstanding
New Faculty Award recognizes a junior faculty member early in her or his
academic career who demonstrates outstanding potential as an educator
and/or researcher in the field of electronic design automation. While
prior research and/or teaching accomplishments are important, the selection
committee will especially consider the impact that the candidate has had
on her or his department and on the EDA field during the initial years
of their academic appointment. The award is presented annually at Design Automation Conference,
and currently consists of a $1,000 award to the faculty member, along
with a citation.
Eligibility:
SIGDA Outstanding new faculty who are developing academic careers in areas in
or related to electronic design automation are encouraged to apply for
this award. Note that this award is not intended for senior or highly
experienced investigators who have already established independent research
careers, even if they are new to academia. Candidates must have recently
completed at least one full academic year and no more than four full academic
years in a tenure-track position. Applications will also be considered
from people whose appointments are continuing (non-visiting) positions
with substantial educational responsibilities regardless whether or not
they are tenure track. Persons holding research-only positions are not
eligible. Exceptions to the timing requirements will be made for persons
who have interrupted their academic careers for substantive reasons, such
as family or medical leave. The presence of such reasons must be attested
by the sponsoring institution, but no explanation is needed.
Application:
Candidates applying for the award must submit the following to the selection
committee no later than November 1 of the current year:
- a 2-page statement summarizing the candidate's teaching and research
accomplishments since beginning their current academic position, as
well as an indication of plans for further development over the next
five years;
- a copy of a current curriculum vitae;
- a letter from either the candidate's department chair or dean endorsing
the application.
The nomination materials should be
emailed by the deadline to onfa@acm.org (Subject: ACM/SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award).:
