The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society is offering a predoctoral fellowship in solid-state circuits for the academic year 2000-2001. The fellowship includes a stipend of $15,000, tuition and fees up to a maximum of $8,000, and a grant of $2,000 to the department in which the recipient is registered.
Applicants must have completed at least one year of graduate study, be in a Ph.D. program in the area of solid-state circuits, and be a member of the IEEE. The award will be made on the basis of academic record and promise, graduate study program, and need.
An application should include these items:
• A short (one-page) biography — Please include your IEEE
membership number.
• Academic records — Copies of all relevant undergraduate and graduate
transcripts.
• Graduate study plan — This should include a summary of what has been completed
and what is planned (about two pages is appropriate). Please include a list of any
publications authored or coauthored. A copy of each publication is desirable. Please
explain the work to be completed in the remainder of your graduate study program, why you
think it is important, and what is novel about your approach. Finally, indicate how
important it is for you to receive this support.
• Letters of recommendation — At least two letters of recommendation are
required; one should be from the principal advisor. These letters should address academic
record, accomplishments and promise, graduate study research program, and need.
The deadline for submission is 15 May 2001, and the results will be announced by 15 July 2001.
Nominations should be sent to:
