The Senate Committee on Awards is now accepting nominations for University Professorships and Distinguished Research Professorships.
University Professorships are conferred upon long-serving tenured faculty members who have demonstrated a commitment to participation in University life and/or contribution to the University as a community, as well as appropriate levels of scholarship and teaching success.
The Distinguished Research Professorship is awarded to a member of the faculty who has made outstanding contributions to the University through research. The Distinguished Research Professor will have demonstrated scholarly achievement by sustained publication or other recognized and accepted demonstrations of sustained authoritative contributions to scholarship.
Nominations may be made by all tenured faculty members, who shall provide a complete nomination file, including the nominee’s c.v., a detailed letter of nomination explaining how the candidate’s achievements conform to the general criteria, along with three (3) letters of support from those in a position to comment on the nominee’s achievements and contributions.
Additional details about the criteria and nomination procedures are set out in the Senate Policy on Honorific Professorships and the nomination form is available on the Awards Committee website. The deadline for submission is Friday, March 6. Nominations may be submitted electronically to kwhite1@yorku.ca or to the University secretariat at 1050 Kaneff Tower.
York strongly values diversity and equity within its research community and encourages nominations of those who are under-represented in recent competitions.
