Fellows of the Paleontological Society

Fellows are members of the Paleontological Society who have made far-reaching contributions to paleontology through research, teaching, or service to the profession. Recipients of the Paleontological Society Medal and the Charles Schuchert Award automatically become Fellows if they have not previously been elected to fellowship.

Deadline for nominations: February 28
Nominations will remain active for three years.

Who May Nominate?
Any member of the Paleontological Society may nominate another member for election to fellowship. Note, however, that the nomination must have the support of at least one active Fellow of the Society.

How to Nominate
The nomination dossiers should include a single, integrated letter signed by at least two and no more than three PS members outlining the contributions of the nominee, along with a CV or biographical sketch of the nominee. At least one of the nominators must be an active Fellow. The letter should focus on those contributions that are most likely to be salient to fellow paleontologists; information on citations, grants, previous professional recognition, etc. is generally less helpful. It should be no more than three pages long and may include brief citations of support from identified persons other than the letter signatories. All supporting documentation should be saved and uploaded as a single file.

Please submit nominations using this form.
