The deadline for nominations for appointment to the position of Argonne Distinguished Fellow is May 2, 2016.
The Argonne Distinguished Fellow is the highest scientific/engineering rank at the laboratory, and this distinction is held by only a small fraction (approximately 3 percent) of the research staff. To achieve this rank, staff members should have a widely recognized international reputation and should have demonstrated exceptional achievements in science or engineering that are relevant to Argonne’s core missions (e.g., seminal discoveries or advances that have broad influence and impact) or have provided critical technical leadership of major, complex, high-priority projects or programs that impacted the future directions of the laboratory or its mission. This distinction will be conferred, each year, on a maximum of four members of the current R&D science and engineering staff.
The Laboratory Director’s Oversight Committee for Hires and Promotions (LDOC-HP) is tasked with evaluating the cases and making recommendations to the Laboratory Director. Submit nomination packages electronically to Kim Martens in Human Resources by May 2, 2016. Information on Argonne employees who have been elected to this title may be found at the Argonne Distinguished Fellow page.
The contents of the nomination package must include all elements as defined in the Programmatic Oversight Committee for Hires and Promotions (POC-HP) Case Contents.
The nominee’s division director or representative will be invited to give a short oral presentation of the case to the LDOC-HP committee.
