The National Academy of Sciences is currently accepting nominations for the Michael and Sheila Held Prize, a prestigious award recognizing outstanding work in combinatorial and discrete optimization and related areas. The selection committee, chaired by Madhu Sudan of Harvard, is seeking strong candidates and encouraging the community to submit nominations.
In addition to the prize call, the post also mentions an open call for postdoctoral positions, making it a useful announcement for researchers at various career stages. Those working in discrete mathematics, optimization, or related fields should take note of both opportunities and consider getting involved.
