Call for Nominations for 2025 CMS Research Prizes
The CMS Research Committee invites nominations for four research prizes for 2025. These prizes are intended to recognize members of the Canadian mathematical community.
- The Coxeter-James Prize recognizes young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. The recipient shall be a member of the Canadian mathematical community. Nominations may be made up to ten years from the candidate’s Ph.D: researchers having their Ph.D degrees conferred within the past ten years (e.g. a degree in 2009 or later would be eligible for nomination in 2019 for the 2020 Prize). Where eligible leaves of absence may warrant, nominations may be made more than ten years from the candidate’s Ph.D. Such exceptions should be clearly addressed by the nominators. A nomination can be updated and will remain active for a second year unless the original nomination is made in the tenth year from the candidate’s Ph.D. For more information, click here.
- The Jeffery-Williams Prize recognizes mathematicians who have made outstanding and sustained contributions to mathematical research. The recipient shall be a member of the Canadian mathematical community. A nomination can be updated and will remain active for three years. For more information, click here.
- The Krieger-Nelson Prize recognizes outstanding research by a woman mathematician or other female-identifying mathematicians. The recipient shall be a member of the Canadian mathematical community. A nomination can be updated and will remain active for two years. For more information, click here.
- The Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize is for an author (or authors) of an outstanding research publication in Probability and Mathematical Physics (2024). A series of closely related publications can be considered if they are clearly connected and focused on the same topic. At least one author of any nominated paper should be part of the Canadian Mathematical community. For more information, click here.
The CMS aims to promote and celebrate diversity in the broadest sense. We strongly encourage department chairs and nominating committees to put forward nominations for outstanding colleagues for research in the mathematical sciences regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. A candidate can be nominated for more than one research prize in the applicable categories; several candidates from the same institution can be nominated for the same research prize.
The CMS research prizes are gender-neutral, except for the Krieger-Nelson Prize, which is awarded to women and female-identifying mathematicians only. Nominations of eligible women and female-identifying mathematicians for general research prizes in addition to the Krieger-Nelson Prize are strongly encouraged.
The Research Committee of the CMS reserves the right to consider a nomination for one of the three research prizes for any other, applicable prize.
The deadline for nominations, including at least three letters of reference, is September 30, 2024. Nomination letters should list the chosen referees and include a citation suitable for a press release. Also include a recent curriculum vitae for the nominee. Some arms-length referees are strongly encouraged. Nominations and the reference letters from the chosen referees should be submitted electronically, preferably in PDF format, to awards-prizes@cms.math.cano later than September 30, 2024. No submission will be accepted beyond this date.
