Miller Prize
To be eligible for this award, the candidate must be the primary author and presenter of work s/he completed since receiving his or her PhD degree, and must also be within four years from degree completion. Additionally, the candidate must not have competed for the Miller Prize prior to this year.
An author who wishes to compete for the Miller Prize should indicate this by checking the appropriate box in the Details area of the abstract submission page for the talk to be judged. The candidate should also arrange for a letter, certifying that the candidate meets the eligibility requirements above, to be sent by their research supervisor in an email message addressed to the Symposium Chair (chair@isms.illinois.edu). The letter should identify the talk abstract by its "P-number." This letter of certification is not a nomination letter and will not be considered by the prize judges.
The Miller Prize winner and his or her co-authors will be invited to submit an article to the Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy based on the research in the prize-winning talk. After passing the normal review process, the article will appear in the Journal with a caption identifying the paper with the talk that received the Miller Prize.
