Microsoft Research is inviting nominations for its Faculty Fellowship program. This program recognizes and supports exceptional early-career faculty engaged in innovative computing research. The objective is to stimulate and support the research of promising individuals who have the potential to make a profound impact on the state-of-the-art in their research disciplines and to become future thought leaders. Each fellowship award includes a cash grant of US$200,000.
Seven Fellowships will be awarded in April 2010. No more than one nomination per research institution will be accepted. The potential Fellows for the Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship program must be nominated by their research institutions, and their nominations must be confirmed by a letter from the head of the institution (e.g., office of the Pro-Vice Chancellor, President, and so on). Direct applications from new faculty members are not accepted.
Nominations and application deadline: Monday 16th November 2009, 20:00 (UTC).
