Society Fellows

Fellows of the Cognitive Science Society are individuals whose research has exhibited sustained excellence and had sustained impact on the Cognitive Science community. A Fellow’s research is typically inter-disciplinary but may be disciplinary research with significant impact on Cognitive Science. Fellows often participate significantly in the Cognitive Science community but not necessarily. Fellows are recognized for their professional integrity. All other factors being equal, the Fellows election process attempts to balance diversity in gender, geographical region of the world, and intellectual area.

NominationS

Open: August 1st – November 1st 2024

The nominations process takes place from August – November each calendar year.

The Cognitive Science Society invites nominations for Fellows of the Society. This honor recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Cognitive Science.

Nominations are due by Wednesday, November 1st, 2024

Qualifications

The criteria for being a Fellow of the Society are as follows. Nominators should aim to address each in their letters of nomination.

(1) A Fellow’s research should exhibit sustained excellence.
(2) A Fellow’s research should exhibit sustained impact on the Cognitive Science community.
(3) Fellows are expected to uphold commonly held standards of professional ethics and scientific integrity.
(4) Ideally, a Fellow’s research should be inter-disciplinary, but disciplinary research having a sustained impact on Cognitive Science is appropriate.
(5) Ideally, a Fellow should be a member of Cognitive Science Society with regular participation in the community via publications, attendance, or mentorship.
(6) Current members of the Cognitive Science Society leadership cannot be nominated for Fellow status.

Other factors being equal, the Fellows election process attempts to balance diversity in gender, traditionally under-represented minorities, geographical region, and disciplinary expertise. Unusually high levels of service are not sufficient for becoming a Fellow. Fellow status is intended to be a lifetime honor; CSS reserves the right to rescind in exceptional cases where commonly held standards of professional ethics and scientific integrity have been violated. New fellows will be invited to publish a paper on their research in topICS.

A list of current Fellows is available below.

Submitted nominations will remain active for one additional year beyond the original submission.

To nominate an individual, please submit the following:

A 1- 2-page description of why the candidate merits selection as a Fellow with respect to the above criteria.
A curriculum vitae for the candidate.
Pointers to a web site that provide information about the candidate, if available.

Nominations should be submitted via email to the Society by clicking below.
