SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Award
Predoctoral Achievement Award
For a small number of promising graduate students, IEEE-SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Awards provide a $1000 honorarium and reimbursement for travel expenses (within certain limits) to ISSCC, the Society's flagship conference. Applicants must be members of IEEE and the Solid State Circuits Society and have completed at least one year of study in a Ph.D. program in the area of solid-state circuits. Awards are made on the basis of academic record and promise, quality of publications, and a graduate study program well matched to the charter of SSCS. Prior winners of the Predoctoral Achievement Award are not eligible. No more than two Awards will be granted in a given year to students of one Principal Advisor.
2019 - 2020 Application Instructions
Application Timetable:
Begin Date: September 1, 2019
End Date: October 15, 2019
Winners will be announced in early December 2019.
Application Instructions:
All application documents should be delivered electronically. Please use pdf format whenever possible. Microsoft Word doc format is also acceptable if necessary. Please supply the following files:
- Biography (1 page) including IEEE member number and contact information.
- A copy of all relevant undergraduate and graduate transcripts
- An essay on graduate study plans (about 2 pages). Summarize work that has been completed and work that must be done to complete your graduate program of study. Explain its importance and what is novel about the approach.
- A list of authored and co-authored publications.
- Include a separate pdf of each publication (do not consolidate multiple publications into one pdf). Create an abbreviated file name for each pdf that includes the Journal or Conference and publication date (e.g. 5GHz Low power VCO, JSSC, Dec 2018).
- Letters of Recommendation: At least two letters, one from the principal advisor, addressing academic record, accomplishments, and promise, and graduate research program. These letters should be e-mailed directly by the authors (not the student) to the review committee at sscspredocaward2019@ieee.org. Students should follow up with their Professor and other references to make sure the letters have been submitted by the deadline.
- Students should send all documents as e-mails with attached files to sscspredocaward2019@ieee.org
- To avoid possible lost attachment e-mails, the student should first send a cover e-mail listing the number of attachment e-mails to follow.
- To avoid problems with e-mail size limits, each subsequent e-mail with attachments should not exceed 15MB.
- To avoid problems with some versions of file compression software, do not use zip (or similar) files. Straight pdfs are strongly preferred.
If you have any questions about the application process, please send an e-mail to sscspredocaward2019@ieee.org.
