The Department is seeking nominations for the 2020 Myrto Lefkopoulou Award.
Each year the lectureship is awarded to a promising statistician who has made contributions to either collaborative or methodologic research in the applications of statistical methods to biology or medicine, and/or who has shown excellence in the teaching of biostatistics. Ordinarily, the lectureship is given to a statistician who has earned a doctorate in the last fifteen years. The lecture is presented to a general scientific audience as the first Department colloquium of each academic year. The lectureship typically includes travel to Boston, a reception following the lecture, and an honorarium of $1000.
Nominations must be received by Friday, June 5, 2020
Please include the candidate’s CV and a letter of nomination describing the contributions of the candidate, specifically highlighting the criteria for the award. Additional letters of support would be extremely helpful as well.
