An asterisk next to the member's name in the current APS Membership Directory indicates fellowship status for members of the DPP. A Fellowship nomination form is available in 3 different formats that can be downloaded from www.aps.org/fellowship/form.html. The original nomination package should be mailed to the Executive Officer at APS (see address below), along with a cover letter stating that a copy has also been sent to Martin Lampe, DPP Vice-Chair (see address below): Original: Copy: Deadline for receipt of the nomination package is: Saturday, April 1, 2000. The nomination package should consist of 20 single-sided pages or less containing:
It is suggested that one of the sponsors not be from the nominee's institution. The sponsors should solicit and include up to two to three additional supporting letters, although there is no required number of supporting letters. The curriculum vita should be appended as part of the 20 single-sided page limit. Note that these instructions differ somewhat from those on the APS web site. A list of DPP members holding APS Fellowship rank is on the DPP web site at http://3wfusion.ph.utexas.edu/aps/. The principal criterion for fellowship is outstanding scientific or technical contributions, evidenced by the quality and impact of the contributions. Special services to science or the APS, contributions to scientific leadership or teaching, and recognition as an authority in some branch of plasma physics will be given serious consideration. Election to Fellowship requires APS membership in good standing and, typically, at least six years of experience beyond the Ph.D. The nominations are evaluated by the DPP Fellowship Committee and its recommendations are considered in succession by the DPP Executive Committee, the APS Fellowship Committee, and final approval is given by the full APS Council. A nominee for Fellowship who has not been approved after review by two consecutive Fellowship Committees shall be dropped from the list of nominees. The sponsors of the nominated Member shall be notified by the APS Executive Officer (Judy Franz) that the Member will not be elected to Fellowship based on that nomination, but that the name of the Member may be resubmitted at a later time for nomination to Fellowship. A Fellowship certificate for the newly selected fellow, bearing the citation, will be awarded at the banquet of the DPP Annual Meeting. 2000 Fellowship Committee
