3)     a brief biography 

4)     verification of when they received their Ph.D. (e.g., a transcript or letter from the dissertation advisor will suffice).

Please send each item as a separate PDF file attachment to [email protected]. Please DO NOT send the dissertation. The award committee will contact the finalists by the end of June to request a full dissertation chapter.
