Professor Alison Coil receives Hellman Faculty Fellows Award.
Dr. Alison Coil, an assistant professor of physics at UC San Diego, has been named a recipient of the 2009-2010 Hellman Faculty Fellows Award to support her research and creative activities.
The award program was established at UC San Diego through the generosity of Chris and Warren Hellman to provide financial support and encouragement to young faculty and enhance their progress toward tenure.
Due to the outstanding caliber of the proposals submitted, the selection process was quite a challenge this year, said Paul W. Drake, senior vice chancellor, Academic Affairs. Forty-two proposals were submitted by Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences faculty, of which 21 were selected for funding. Twelve proposals were selected for funding out of 24 submitted by the Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering Divisions. Given the current economic climate, both selection committees chose to partially fund a number of these proposals in an effort to stretch the funds to assist a greater number of promising young faculty, Drake said. |
