UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE

Wednesday, October 29, 2003

To: Deans, Directors and Department Chairs

From: Tilahun Yilma, Chair, on behalf of the Faculty Research Lecture 
Committee

Subject: Nomination of candidates for the Faculty Research 
Lectureship

The Faculty Research Lecture Committee invites all Academic Senate 
members of the Davis Division to submit nominations for this year’s 
Faculty Research Lectureship Award.

Once each year the Davis Division of the Academic Senate selects a 
Faculty Research Lecturer, who will give a public lecture under the 
auspices of the Chancellor and the Chair of the Davis Division.

The lecturer is singled out for the distinction of her/his scholarly 
research, chiefly for efforts carried out while a member of the Davis 
faculty.

The Faculty Research Lectureship is the highest honor the Davis 
Division of the Academic Senate accords its members.  All members of 
the Senate are invited to submit nominations.

Since a single award is made for the entire Davis faculty, nominees 
should be outstanding scholars and researchers, recognized as leaders 
in their respective discipline, both nationally and internationally.  
Please provide the following:

1.  A letter of two to three pages setting for the nominee’s 
qualifications. 

2.  A current curriculum vitae of the nominee.

3.  A bibliography of significant items.

4.  One or two examples of the nominee’s work demonstrating its 
distinctive quality.

5.  The Selection Committee may request additional information on 
nominees and will not necessarily limits its consideration of 
candidates to the pool of nominees.

In preparing the cover letter, please emphasize information on 
originality and creativity of the nominee and the nominee’s works.  
Nominators should emphasize the fundamental and, if appropriate, 
practical impacts of the nominee’s work, particularly for work 
carried out at Davis.  Against the background of the breadth of 
UC Davis research and scholarly activity, what makes your nominee’s 
contributions stand out?  Indicate the interest that the nominee’s 
lecture may raise on the campus and in the local community.

The deadline for the nomination is 5 p.m., Friday, November 21, 2003.

Nominations, either paper or e-mail attachment, should be sent to:
