PALM Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies Program Awards Sub-Committee
The PALM Graduate Program Awards Sub-Committee is looking for regular members. All faculty members of the department are encouraged to apply. The committee is responsible for allocating stipends and various awards to qualified students, as well as nomination of students for provincial and national awards. It serves the important function of attracting, retaining, and financially supporting students in our department during their MSc and PhD programs.
Responsibilities for the members of the Awards Committee include reviewing of applications and ranking of the applicants. No written report is required for the reviews, the adjudicators just need to rank the applications. This significantly reduces the amount of time demanded from the adjudicators. We have about 3-4 rounds of applications per year. On average, an adjudicator spends about 2-3 hours reviewing applications per round of competition. The term of appointment is 2 years, and the appointment is renewable. We look forward to seeing enthusiastic responses to this announcement.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Dr. Chun Seow, Chair of the PALM Graduate Program Awards Sub-Committee by email at chun.seow@hli.ubc.ca by Friday, April 1st, 2022.
Supervisory Committee Composition
We want to remind you that when a PhD student is putting together their Committee, or a MSc student is transferring to PhD and must add an additional member, at least 50% of the student's committee (including the Supervisor) must be composed of G+PS members. This may influence the number of members on any given PhD Committee, especially if the Supervisor is not a G+PS member.
For non-members we need to review a CV for the approval process by the Program which is followed by an application to G+PS in order to have them serve on a PhD Committee. One application must be made for each student committee.
When identifying potential members please also try to consider diversity within the committee.

As a member of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine you are invited to use the statistical software JMPPro v16 from SAS institute. This software is made available for academic purposes only and is licensed annually. For more information on the capabilities of JMP, please see the website www.jmp.com .
