This year, the Board of VSS decided to redirect the Teller Award toward an otherwise neglected part of the VSS family: mid-career scientists.

 

We define mid-career scientists to be vision researchers who are between 10 and 25 degrees after the terminal degree (e.g., the Ph.D.). Previous nominees for the Young Investigator Award who have aged out of that category can certainly be nominated for the Davida Teller Award. Events that typically stop a tenure clock (e.g., parental leave) do not count toward the 10-25 year range.


Nomination Process

Nominations may be made by any current (a) regular member, or (b) postdoctoral member, or (c) those who hold emeritus status. A nominee must have been an active VSS member in recent years. Previously considered nominees are eligible to be re-nominated.
