Nominations Deadline - 04 December
The International Society for Computational Biology introduced the ISCB
Fellows Program in 2009 to honor members that have distinguished
themselves through outstanding contributions to the fields of
computational biology and bioinformatics. During the inaugural year of
the program, ISCB conferred the Fellow status on the seven
winners-to-date of the ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award,
and recognized these distinguished scientists during the ISMB/ECCB 2009
conference in Stockholm, Sweden. Since then ISCB has sought nominations
from our community of members, which are reviewed and voted upon by a
selection committee.
We newly consider two types of Fellow nominations:
(i) Academic nominees: These are nominees who have done the bulk of
their work in academia, including government and research institutions.
Such nominations must demonstrate primarily excellence in research,
which includes the development of methods or resources that advance
research. The nomination can be strengthened by pointing to service to
the computational biology community, education and/or administration.
(ii) Industry nominees: These are nominees who have done the bulk of
their work in industry. Such nominations must demonstrate primarily the
impact of their industrial work on the field. The nomination can be
strengthened by pointing to research, education, or service to the
computational biology community, e.g. by providing research
infrastructure.
New Fellows are introduced at each year's ISMB conference.
