Very Early Career Woman Physicist Prize
The Shell and Institute of Physics Award for the Very Early Career Woman Physicist of the Year
The Women in Physics Group invites applications from women at the start of their careers in physics who have made a substantial contribution to the subject and have undertaken activities to support and encourage others in the field. The prize is awarded annually to a woman who is within five years of the award of her first degree in physics (Bachelor’s or Master’s) and is either working as a physicist or is engaged in postgraduate study in physics.
The winner will be presented with £1000 donated by Shell and an award certificate at a major Institute of Physics Women in Physics event in May 2011. As well as providing recognition of the winner's work, the award will also provide valuable networking opportunities. Applicants must therefore be resident in the UK or Ireland at the time of applying for the award.
The Very Early Career Woman Physicist of the Year Award seeks to recognise the outstanding work of women embarking on a career in physics and to promote the career opportunities open to people with physics qualifications.
