Program description
The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. Based on institutional nominations, the program provides discretionary funding to faculty at an early stage in their careers. Criteria for selection include an independent body of scholarship attained in the early years of their appointment (see below), and a demonstrated commitment to education, signaling the promise of continuing outstanding contributions to both research and teaching.
- Nominees must hold a full-time tenure-track assistant professor faculty appointment (UTL), and are normally expected to have been appointed no earlier than mid-year 2012.
- Nominees must be in a department that is focused on the chemical sciences – chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and materials chemistry.
- Awardees are from Ph.D. granting departments in which scholarly research is a principal activity.
- Undergraduate education is an important component of the nominee's activities.
Selection Criteria
The Foundation seeks Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholars who demonstrate leadership in research and education. Nominations must provide compelling evidence of the advance of important knowledge in the chemical sciences by the nominee. Further, the nomination should describe dedication and contributions to education in the chemical sciences, particularly with respect to undergraduates.
The nominee's scholarly research achievements are assessed by a panel of distinguished faculty in the chemical sciences. The letters of recommendation should address the nominee's research accomplishments as an independent faculty member. Other considered factors are: awards and honors, publication of research achievements in leading journals, and success in attracting research funding.
