• Current member of The Electrochemical Society;
• Outstanding research accomplishments;
• Early career investigators within 10 years of completing their PhDs, as of June 1 of the nominating year.

Nomination guidelines

Individuals closely familiar with nominees’ research may submit nominations.

A complete nomination package includes:

• Completed electronic nomination form;

The importance of the nominee’s achievements should be assessed independently from the research conducted in the mentor(s) group;
• Nominee curriculum vitae (CV) with a record of achievements (e.g., list of publications, awards, presentations, involvement with scientific societies, etc.).

Unsuccessful nominations are automatically considered for one additional award cycle as long as eligibility remains valid (i.e., candidates completed their PhDs within 10 years of the award nomination year). Candidates applying exactly 10 years after receiving their PhDs do not receive repeat consideration.

Electrodeposition Division Early Career Investigator Award Committee members may not submit nominations or letters of support during their terms of service.
