Call for Speaker Nominations: PIMS Network-wide Colloquium
PIMS is sponsoring a network-wide colloquium to take place Winter/Spring 2021. High quality colloquia by distinguished speakers will be given on a monthly basis (delivered virtually) for an audience spread across the 10 PIMS member universities.
We are calling for nominations for colloquium speakers. These will be evaluated by a larger committee based on:
- distinction of speaker;
- equity, diversity and inclusivity considerations;
- suitability for a colloquium-style lecture.
Proposals should be submitted to a member of the committee (names and email addresses below) by October 31st. A proposal should include:
- Name and contact information of the proposed speaker;
- Affiliation;
- A brief biography or CV (1-2 pages) of the proposed speaker [this item can be replaced by a web link to a page providing similar information];
- A one paragraph scientific rationale for inviting the proposed speaker;
- A statement, if applicable, giving details of ways in which this nominee would contribute to PIMS' goals of promoting under-represented groups;
- If possible, a statement addressing the nominee's ability to give a broadly accessible engaging talk;
