[CogSci] Women in Cognitive Science Leadership Award

[Terry Regier]

I am forwarding the following announcement at the request of Mary
Peterson.  You may have seen this announcement before but even if you have,
there's news:
1. The deadline has been extended to August 15, midnight, anywhere on earth.
2. The award is open to all -- one need not be a US citizen.

WiCS (Women in Cognitive Science) has instituted a Leadership Award to
recognize initiatives that individuals have taken, beyond their own
students and labs, to benefit women in cognitive science more broadly. Two
leadership awards (at $1000 each) will be given annually; the first two
will be awarded at the WiCS workshop at the 2018 meeting of the Psychonomic
Society.

Sample activities that might constitute the kinds of leadership we envision
are listed below, but these are by no means exhaustive. We will be
delighted to expand this list as examples of creative and effective
leadership emerge.

   - Taken steps to enhance success of women scientists (e.g., writing
   papers & books; giving talks on this topic; publicizing inequalities and/or
   solutions; holding workshops)
   - Initiated programs that benefit women in cognitive science
   - Sought funding for programs to support women in cognitive science,
   - Carried out significant professional service that benefitted women in
   cognitive science


Nominations are gender- and rank-open; scientists of all genders and at all
levels can contribute to the success of women in cognitive science

*Nomination Procedure/Format:*
A nomination packet, with the components listed below should be sent to
wicsleadership2018 at gmail.com:

   - A nomination letter and two supporting letters that discuss the
   leadership initiative(s) on which the nomination is based, and the ways in
   which they advance the success of women in cognitive science. At least one
   letter must be written by someone outside the nominee’s own institution.
   Each letter must be no longer than two pages long (single spaced).
   - The nominee’s CV
   - For the nominee, a list of collaborators in the last 4 years, grouped
   according to type of collaboration: (a) research collaboration, (b)
   collaboration on efforts to benefit women in cognitive science.
   - Applicants must not be collaborators or trainees of current members of
   the WiCS Advisory Board (or have been a trainee within the last four years).


*Nominations must be received by August 15, 2018 (midnight anywhere on
earth)*
