[Iefac.list] Call for Nominations: IISE Doctoral Colloquium

[Cole Smith]

Dear Colleagues,

The Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads (CIEADH) and the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) requests nominations for the IISE Doctoral Colloquium to be held Saturday, May 20, 2017 preceding the IISE Annual Conference and Expo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This all-day event is designed for doctoral candidates expecting to graduate by Spring of 2018.  Panels of experts will lead discussions on various topics including the job search, life in academia and industry, the tenure process, teaching, research, and professional service.  Students are required to present their dissertation research in a poster session on Sunday, May 21.  A panel will review the posters and award a best poster designation on Sunday, so students should plan to attend the Sunday session of the conference. All posters will remain on display during the conference on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Nominations must be made by department chairs. Departments should limit nominations to a maximum of three students, as space is limited. To nominate students, please send:

  1.  A statement from the chair indicating names of students, their Ph.D. advisors, their expected dates of graduation, and their email addresses (as part of an email message).  Please indicate priority order for the nominations in case the Colloquium cannot accommodate all students.
  2.  A single file (PDF or MS word) for each nominee with their current curriculum vitae and a brief description of their research topic (e.g., a 1-page dissertation abstract).  Please use the following naming convention for files: 2/5-letter school name abbreviation_last name. For example: uw_boyle.pdf.
  3.  An additional attached file for each nominee with the title and abstract for their poster. Please submit as a separate attachment with the naming convention: 2/5-letter school name abbreviation_last name_poster. For example: uw_boyle_poster.doc.

Please email your nomination to Professor Cole Smith (jcsmith at clemson.edu<mailto:jcsmith at clemson.edu>) and CC Professor Linda Boyle (linda at uw.edu<mailto:linda at uw.edu>) with the subject line "IISE Doctoral Colloquium Nomination."

Nominations must be received by Friday, March 10, 2017, although early nominations are encouraged. Nominees will be notified (accept or reject) not later than Friday, March 17, 2017. Meals (continental breakfast and lunch) will be provided on Saturday, May 20, 2017.  All other expenses incurred are to be covered by either the nominee or their department.   Neither CIEADH nor IISE covers student travel or lodging expenses associated with the Colloquium or the IISE conference.

Although the Doctoral Colloquium is open only to students registered for the IISE Annual Conference, acceptance of an invitation to attend the Colloquium does not grant entrance to the conference. Students must register separately for that event (see www.iise.org/annual<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.iise.org_annual&d=CwIGaQ&c=Ngd-ta5yRYsqeUsEDgxhcqsYYY1Xs5ogLxWPA_2Wlc4&r=Ue5eprQ_fMYcavWXDDYHbKQI0IFAmpjoy6QR5xcYCC4Qd5ukwoooDHsBFMkK-u0r&m=Lp6B33CzKK7qA2GGjvco3FuLx2_PiE5aIK4X3qZnk2o&s=IHHUR-7JVzhc-25rDWta63Ou7vVzVlyle5LmvdkzcO8&e= > for details).

Please direct any questions or inquiries to: Dr. Cole Smith, Clemson University: jcsmith at clemson.edu<mailto:jcsmith at clemson.edu> with a copy to Dr. Linda Boyle, University of Washington:  linda at uw.edu<mailto:linda at uw.edu>.
