The PALM Graduate Program Awards Sub-Committee is looking for regular members. All faculty members of the department are encouraged to apply. The committee is responsible for allocating stipends and various awards to qualified students, as well as nomination of students for provincial and national awards. It serves the important function of attracting, retaining, and financially supporting students in our department during their MSc and PhD programs. Responsibilities for the members of the Awards Committee include reviewing of applications and ranking of the applicants. No written report is required for the reviews, the adjudicators just need to rank the applications. This significantly reduces the amount of time demanded from the adjudicators. We have about 3-4 rounds of applications per year. On average, an adjudicator spends about 2-3 hours reviewing applications per round of competition. The term of appointment is 2 years, and the appointment is renewable. We look forward to seeing enthusiastic responses to this announcement.
— If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Dr. Chun Seow, Chair of the PALM Graduate Program Awards Sub-Committee by email at chun.seow@hli.ubc.ca by Friday, April 1st, 2022.
