The New York section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy is pleased to announce the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Awards program for Academic Year 2007-2008. The NYSAS is seeking nominations for its annual Student Awards that recognize excellence in the field of Applied Spectroscopy. The field of Applied Spectroscopy is broadly defined, and includes the use of traditional atomic and molecular spectroscopic techniques as well as the use of spectroscopic detectors in hyphenated instruments, microscopy, imaging and related fields.
One graduate and up to five undergraduate awards will be presented. Each candidate should be an undergraduate in at least their junior year or a graduate student majoring in science. The graduate awardee will receive a $500 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus an invitation to the student awards dinner. The New York Section Graduate Student Awardee will also be nominated by the NYSAS section for the National SAS Student Award. Each undergraduate awardee will receive a $100 cash award, a plaque, a one year membership to the SAS, plus an invitation to the student awards dinner.
Applications should include the following items for evaluation:
a.) A letter of recommendation from the student's research advisor.
b.) Letters of recommendation from two additional faculty members who are familiar with the quality of the student's work.
c.) Transcripts that document all university credits (unofficial transcripts are OK).
d.) A one-page summary of the research project written by the student including reference to any of the student's published work, demonstrating applicability of the research to the field of applied spectroscopy.
e.) Telephone numbers, mailing addresses and e-mail addresses of both the student & research advisor.
Electronic submission is preferred. Please use the subject line NYSAS Award: Lastnam (where Last name should be replaced by the surname of the student nominee; for example NYSAS Award: Carroll).
