The Executive Committee of the Organic Division of the ACS wishes to give greater opportunities for Assistant Professors to present their works at national settings prior to their tenure decisions. Consequently, we are scheduling the 5th Organic Assistant Professors Symposium at the 2010 Fall ACS meeting. The intent of the Symposium is to have the program composed of Assistant Professor speakers who are entering their fifth or sixth years and who have not yet been considered for tenure.  Sixteen speakers will be invited to give 30-minute presentations on their work.

We invite you to nominate Organic Assistant Professors as potential speakers for this symposium.  The nomination may come from the Chair of the department or other tenured faculty.  You would need to send by e-mail a very short nomination statement, confirmation that the nominee will be a fifth or a sixth year Assistant Professor in the Fall 2010, and a copy of their CV.   Please send the e-mail to Huw Davies and Lisa McElwee-White (hmdavie@emory.edu, lmwhite@chem.ufl.edu) before February 1, 2010.
