(On behalf of Sue Eisenbach, to whom queries should be addressed. Nomination deadline is 4th Jan. My apologies for the short notice. -jg) * Dear all, If you have a student who has completed an outstanding programming language PhD thesis in the academic year 2014, can I recommend that the student be proposed for consideration for SIGPLAN’s best PhD award, the John C Reynolds Doctoral Dissertation Award? http://www.sigplan.org/Awards/Dissertation/ As a chair of a hiring committee, I know that winning such prizes, and even being nominated for such prizes, makes the potential candidate stand out.
