2013 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Rohlf Medal
The Rohlf Medal was established in 2006 by his family and friends to mark the
70th birthday of F. James Rohlf, Distinguished Professor of Ecology and
Evolution and longtime Stony Brook University faculty member. Recipients of the
Rohlf Medal will be recognized for excellence in their body of work on the
development of new morphometric methods or for their applications in the
biomedical sciences, including evolutionary biology, population biology,
physical anthropology, and medicine. The term “morphometrics” is intended to
include high-dimensional pattern analyses of biological shape, especially those
that analyze shape in a comprehensive way, or of covariation of shape patterns
with other variables. The award can recognize advances in the mathematical or
statistical theory underlying morphometric methods, new software that
implements or visualizes new methods, or specific new biological findings that
rely crucially on contemporary morphometric methods and represent major!
advances.
Candidates for the Rohlf Medal may be self-nominated or nominated by others.
They must have attained the postdoctoral level or its equivalent. Nomination
packages should include (1) a description of the body of work (not to exceed
two pages) on which the candidacy is based,
(2) reprints of no more than three relevant papers and/or software products,
(3) a curriculum vitae, and (4) the names and addresses of three referees.
Nominating packages should be uploaded to the Rohlf Medal website
(http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/rohlf_medal/apply.html) and received by 15
August 2013 to be assured of full consideration.
The successful candidate will receive the Rohlf Medal and a cash prize at Stony
Brook University in mid-Fall 2013 (final date to be determined). She or he will
deliver a lecture that is appropriate for an educated general audience
concerning the morphometric research for which the Rohlf Medal was awarded.
