I would like to draw your attention to the SIGPLAN John C. Reynolds Doctoral Dissertation Award. If you are (or will be) a 2015 PhD graduate with a great thesis or a supervisor of such a graduate can I suggest you consider applying? Obtaining such an award makes a person stand out when applying for positions.
The nomination process is straightforward and nominations are due on the 5th of January. Details of the award can be found at http://www.sigplan.org/Awards/Dissertation/ . If you have any questions, please contact Susan Eisenbach (CC'd).
Cheers,
Jeremy
