[visionlist] Reminder: 2012 Elsevier/VSS Young Investigator Award Nominations Open

[Shawna Lampkin]

VSS is pleased to announce that nominations for the 2012 Elsevier/VSS Young
Investigator Award, sponsored by Vision Research, are now open. The prize,
established in 2007, is awarded each year to an outstanding visual scientist
who has received an advanced degree within the past 10 years. (The nominee's
degree must be no earlier than the calendar year 10 years prior to receiving
the award. For the upcoming 2012 award, the degree must be in 2002 or
later).

Nominations must be made by a VSS member and will be reviewed by the Young
Investigator Award Committee, consisting of five established visual
scientists selected from VSS membership. Members of the Award Committee and
the VSS Board of Directors cannot serve as nominators.

The Award Committee will select the winner by March 14, and the prize, which
includes an honorarium, will be presented at the 2012 VSS meeting in Naples.
The awardee will be asked to give a presentation of her/his work at the 2012
VSS meeting, and to prepare a featured review article related to his or her
work for Vision Research.

The nominations should include:

* A letter of recommendation with a detailed description of the scientific
contributions of the nominee. 
* A curriculum vitae of the nominee.

Please note, while previously considered nominees may be re-nominated, a new
nomination is required (assuming the nominee is still eligible).

Nominations for the 2012 Young Investigator Award should be submitted by
email to Shauney Wilson ( <mailto:shauneywilson at visionsciences.org>
shauneywilson at visionsciences.org).


Deadline for receipt of nominations: Friday, January 13, 2012
