James 捆绑SM社区 Professor and William Dawson Scholar awards

Deans, Associate Deans (Research), Department Chairs, and Directors are encouraged to identify and nominate excellent researchers in their Faculties and Departments for vacant WDS, JMP, or DJMP awards. In so doing, Faculties are urged to be mindful of equity considerations and to ensuring 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 cohort of chair-holders is diverse by soliciting applications from individuals in under-represented groups, including women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, racialized persons/visible minorities, and persons of minority sexual orientation or gender identity (2SLGBTQIA+ persons). Potential candidates should be encouraged to fill out the Employment Equity Survey and informed that this survey data is kept confidential.

Faculty decisions about nominations should be:

• based on the candidate鈥檚 record of achievement; and
• made pursuant to a review by a Faculty-level committee composed of at least three members including the Faculty Dean (or delegate) and Associate Dean (Research). The membership of the committee should be diverse, and include at least one woman.

Once a Faculty has identified its nominee(s), it will submit a nomination package for each nominee that includes:

• a letter of support jointly submitted by the nominee鈥檚 Dean and Department Chair/Director (1 page, maximum);
• proposal from the nominee summarizing their past research and training accomplishments (1 page maximum), and a description of their research program for the next five (WDS) or seven (JMP) years, including its potential impact and outcomes (2 pages, maximum); and
• the nominee鈥檚 curriculum vitae.

The same package shall be provided for any application for a JMP or WDS renewal.

• For renewals only: the file includes a performance report of achievements prepared by the candidate. Contact crc.provost [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Performance%20Report%20Template) for the appropriate instructions.
