Call for Nominations
2024 Elsevier/JQSRT Richard M. Goody Award
This prestigious Elsevier/JQSRT young-scientist award is named
after Richard M.
Goody whose pioneering research has had a
profound and long- lasting impact on the disciplines of atmospheric radiation, remote sensing, and climate science.
The 2024
Goody Award will be competed among outstanding early-career scientists who work in the fields of Atmospheric
Radiation and Remote Sensing. The award will be presented at the 21st Electromagnetic
and Light Scattering Conference (ELS-XXI). The conference venue and time will be announced later. The award
will consist of a certificate and monetary prize of 500 USD.
To qualify for consideration,
a nominee:
- Must be a graduate or post-graduate student or
in his/her early career path
with an outstanding record
of scholarship;
- Must have not received any JQSRT Young Scientist Award previously;
- Should have published in JQSRT previously, although this requirement may be relaxed in exceptional cases. This requirement is one of the award
selection criteria, as this award is an Elsevier/JQSRT award;
- Should be under 37 years of age on 1 July
2024 or finished his/her PhD within the 10 years
preceding that date;
- Must present at least one paper at ELS-XXI and attend the award
ceremony.
- The award recipient
will be invited to publish an invited awardee paper in JQSRT.
The
recipient of the 2024 Goody Award will be selected by a distinguished Award Committee, and the award certificate will be presented at the award ceremony during the ELS-XXI conference.
Each nomination package should be submitted, as a single PDF file, to Prof. Ping Yang, at pyang@tamu.edu, Dr. Gorden
Videen at gorden.videen@gmail.com, and Prof. M. Pinar Menguc at pinar.menguc@ozyegin.edu.tr by 28 June
2024 (Friday) and should consist of a nomination letter, the nominee’s CV and publications list, up to 5 best
peer-reviewed journal papers, and up to 3 letters of support.
2024 Elsevier/JQSRT
Peter C. Waterman Award
This prestigious Elsevier/JQSRT young-scientist
award is named after Peter C. Waterman (1928 - 2012) whose ground-breaking
research has had a dramatic
and long-lasting impact and to a large degree has guided the progress in the disciplines of electromagnetic, acoustic, and elastic wave scattering by obstacles.
The 2024
Waterman Award will be competed among outstanding early-career scientists who work on the theory and
applications of Electromagnetic Scattering. The award will be presented at the 21st Electromagnetic
and Light Scattering Conference (ELS-XXI). The conference venue and time will be announced later. The award
will consist of a certificate and monetary prize of 500 USD.

Open positions
We have an opening for a PhD position at
SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. The goal of the project is to
use and expand a method to infer information of aerosol water content and
hygroscopicity using multi-angle polarimeters, such as SPEXone and
POLDER. More info:
