[Fritz Claydon]

IBM is pleased to announce the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship program for the
2013-2014 academic year.  We have received many outstanding and exceptional
candidates from universities all over the world in the past and encourage
your participation. IBM Ph.D. Fellowship nominations may be made *by
doctoral faculty members* from September 20 through October 30, 2012.
 Please note there are changes to the program scope, for details go to *
http://www.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship*<http://www.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship>


The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Awards Program is an intensely competitive
worldwide program, which honors exceptional Ph.D. students who have an
interest in solving problems that are important to IBM and fundamental to
innovation in many academic disciplines and areas of study. These include:
computer science and engineering (including cyber security and cloud
computing), electrical and mechanical engineering, physical sciences
(including chemistry, material sciences, and physics), mathematical
sciences (including analytics of massive scale data with uncertainty,
operations research, and optimization), public sector and business sciences
(including urban policy and analytics, social technologies, learning
systems and natural language understanding) and service science,
management, and engineering (SSME). Additional details are in the attached
poster.<https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/university/phdfellowship/faq.html>



   Preference will be given to students who have had an IBM internship, or
   have closely collaborated with technical or services people from IBM.

The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship program also supports our long-standing commitment
to workforce diversity. IBM values
diversity<http://www.ibm.com/employment/us/diverse/index.shtml> in
the workplace and encourages nominations of women, minorities and all who
contribute to that diversity.

Please feel free to post this program announcement in your department area.
This announcement will also be posted on the Internet
at<http://www-3.ibm.com/software/info/university/fellowship/phd/>
 *http://www.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship*<http://www.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship>
on
September 20, 2012 and will be linked to the Internet nomination form.
Award recipients will be finalized mid February, 2013 followed by emails to
all participants. All supporting documents for the fellowship, such as
student's resume, and endorsement by the department head as well as the
nominator's recommendation must be included in the nomination form. We ask
that each department submit *no more than two new nominations* (in addition
to any existing fellowship nominations to compete for a renewal). In cases
of more than one nomination for a fellowship (including competing renewal
nominations), the department head's endorsement must include an indication
of the relative merits of all the candidates and the department's
prioritization of these candidates. Students from Europe and Russia may be
nominated in their first year of study in their doctoral program. Outside
of Europe and Russia students must have completed at least one year of
study in their doctoral program at the time of their nomination. Students
from U.S. embargoed countries are not eligible for the program.

IBM Ph.D. Fellowships are awarded worldwide. IBM Ph.D. Fellows are awarded
a stipend for the academic year 2013-2014. Fellowships vary by
country/geographic area and the student will be informed at the time of the
award what the value is for their country/geographic area. All IBM Ph.D.
Fellows are matched with an IBM Mentor according to their technical
interests, and they are strongly encouraged to participate in an internship
at least once while completing their studies. While students may accept
other supplemental fellowships, to be eligible for the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship
they may not accept a major award in addition to the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship.
Students in Europe and Russia may accept government scholarships and remain
eligible for the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship.

We look forward to receiving your department's nominations.
