Call for Fellows

Fellowships:
APS Fellowship constitutes recognition by one’s professional peers of exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise. Only APS members who are members of FOEP can be nominated for fellowship through FOEP. The deadline for Fellowship nominations is June 1, 2016.

Nomination is done entirely on-line. Complete instructions for the nomination are available at the Nomination Instructions page. The process consists of providing the nominee’s contact and professional information and uploading nomination letters that document the accomplishments of the nominee and explain why he or she is deserving of recognition. Nominations are evaluated by the FOEP nomination committee, reviewed by the full APS Fellowship Committee, and finally approved by APS Council.

Outreach is a broad enterprise, spanning academia, industry and national laboratories, as well as freelance professionals such as writers, journalists and bloggers. Outreach activities are often overlooked and undervalued—take a moment to think about people who have an exceptional track record in this area.  We strive to have a diverse group of nominees and encourage the nomination of members of all underrepresented groups. Nominating someone for APS fellowship takes time; however, it is a great way to emphasize the importance of reaching out to and engaging with the public.
