Description of the Award: 

Nominations are open for the 2020 Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship through September 30, 2019. This year we are extending the reach of the fellowship to include South America as well as North America.

Early-career faculty must be nominated by their university or a Microsoft researcher. We will accept a maximum of two nominations per university. If a university nominates more than one faculty, then at least one nominee should help us increase the opportunities for faculty who are underrepresented in the field of computing. This includes those who self-identify as a woman, African American, Black, Hispanic, Latinx, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and/or person with a disability.

The Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship recognizes emerging leaders in the field of computing who have exceptional talent for research and innovation. Qualifying faculty must have received their terminal degree in August 2014 or later, and their research must be closely related to the general research areas carried out by Microsoft Research. These full-time faculty members must also conduct research, advise graduate students and teach in the classroom.
