CHELLIAH EARLY CAREER AWARD
ABOUT
The Chelliah Sriskandarajah Early Career Research Accomplishments Award (previously known as the “Wickham Skinner Early Career Research Accomplishments Award”), hereafter “the Award,” will be presented during the POMS 2022 Annual Conference, Orlando, FL, U.S.A. For information about the conference and the Award, go to the POMS website: http://www.poms.org/
As a leading professional society in the field of production and operations management, POMS has the responsibility to shape the development of this field through recognizing and rewarding academics who have achieved unusually high accomplishment early in their careers.
For the Award, there will be at most two winners: first place with a prize of $1,000 and the runner‐up with a prize of $500, or if both tied for the first place each with a prize of $1,000. No award will be given if the submissions do not meet the standards. The Award will be announced at the POMS 2022 — Thirty-Second Annual Conference, Orlando, FL, USA. The Award includes:
- Public recognition of the award winner(s) at the POMS Annual Conference
- A plaque
- A check for the appropriate amount.
An “Early‐Career Researcher” will be defined as someone who has received a doctoral degree (or its equivalent outside of the USA) within the previous six years. Applying this definition, for 2022 POMS Annual Conference, 2015 is the starting year for inclusion. Given that the Award was not offered last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are making a one-time exception and accepting applications for the 2022 Award from applicants who received their doctoral degree in or after 2014. Note that previous winners of this Award are not eligible to apply again, but unsuccessful applicants may submit materials in a later year, provided they still meet the career stage requirement. The applicant must be a POMS member of good standing.
