*UCR Postdoc Awards for Excellence*

As UCR continues to grow, as does our postdoc community. These individuals
are an integral part of our research efforts and frequently play important
roles as mentors, teachers and links to our communities. A focused and
productive postdoctoral scholar is a key component of many research
facilities conducting skilled experiments, technical support in the lab and
field and providing graduate students with near-peer mentorship. This part
of the UCR community should be celebrated. Therefore, in partnership with
the Riverside Postdoctoral Association (RPA), the Graduate Division and the
Office of Research would like to recognize our postdoctoral scholars with a
new set of awards aimed at recognizing excellence in research, mentorship
and service.



 The Graduate Division, the Office of Research and the
Riverside Postdoc Association is pleased to announce the call for the first
annual Postdoc Awards for Excellence. This award honors postdocs who have
demonstrated excellence in research, mentorship and service to the
community. The awards will consist of a plaque and *a $1000 check* to be
awarded at the Graduate Division’s Award Ceremony. We are seeking
nomination letters from department
chairs, faculty, students, and postdocs in support of an excellent
individual in your area.





*Eligibility Criteria*

   - Be a current postdoc at UCR and have held the position for at least 6
   months in any of UCR’s departments and must be holding the position at the
   time of application.
   - Work described must have taken place while at UCR.
   - Additional service to the community does not have to be associated
   with UCR



*How to Apply*

   - Submit a research statement describing your research achievements.
   - Submit a personal statement to include activities such as mentorship,
   philosophy on diversity and outreach activities.

   - Letters of support from UCR mentor and/or mentees, such as current or

   training or boosted their professional development, and describe the
   positive impact on their own scholarship and well-being. We encourage the
   authors to use specific examples in their letter.
