David E. Wells Research Award
Request for Applications
An award ($1000) will be given for the best student presentation at the David E. Wells Memorial Symposium (December 6, 2022).
Eligibility
Any Ph.D. student in the fourth year of study or beyond mentored by a primary microbiology department faculty member is eligible to compete for this award.
Application Procedure
The first stage of the Wells Award is submission of a two-page synopsis of the student’s dissertation research and a curriculum vitae. The synopsis should include a detailed description of the project: goals and objectives, the hypothesis, a summary of results with interpretation and some discussion of how the work fits into the field.
After faculty review of these documents, the top three students will be selected and invited to participate in the annual UAB Department of Microbiology “David E. Wells Memorial Symposium” where they will deliver a 20-minute oral presentation describing their research to a panel of faculty judges, members of the department and the UAB research community. The presenters will have an opportunity answer questions from the audience and panel of judges.
Application Deadline
The deadline is November 4th. Please apply online and upload the packet as a single PDF.
