Ottawa, (IINA) - Dr. Md Saidul Islam, a Bangladesh-born Canadian sociologist, has received the Canadian Sociological Association's Early Investigator Award 2015, The Daily Star reported.
Dr. Islam, an assistant professor of sociology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, obtained his MA and PhD from York University in Canada where he also taught sociology. Prior to his current appointment, he taught at the College of William and Mary in the United States.
He is the first Canadian sociologist to receive this prestigious award from a non-Canadian University, the release said.
Sociologists get the accolade for making significant research contributions within the first 10 years since the completion of their PhDs, said a press release.
"The award recognizes research demonstrating high quality, theoretical rigour and/or methodological innovation, and future potential," it added.
According to the Canadian Sociological Association's Research Advisory Committee 2015 Report, Dr. Islam's “research productivity has been absolutely outstanding, with two sole-authored books (and another under contract), 14 peer reviewed journal articles (including a co-authored publication in 'Science', one of the most influential publications across disciplines and article in top environmental sociology journals), and 18 books and commissioned papers.”
