The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the AWM is awarded annually to a woman recently promoted to Associate Professor or an equivalent position in the mathematical sciences. The prize provides a fellowship for the awardee to spend a semester in the Mathematics Department of Cornell University without teaching obligations. Recently promoted Associate Professors face many challenges as they prepare to take on greater leadership in research and in the profession. Any person can nominate for the award. An application packet should include: a curriculum vitae including career history, list of publications and invited addresses, and other awards and support; a proposal describing the research or book project to be undertaken during the fellowship period and explaining how the semester in the Mathematics Department of Cornell University will benefit the applicant's project or their research career; and three letters of recommendation addressing the candidate's research strengths and accomplishments. Please visit the award's website or contact the Association for Women in Mathematics for more information.
