The Shell and Institute of Physics
Award for the
Very Early Career
Woman Physicist of the Year
5th annual award - £1000 prize
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 £1,000 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.
Applicants should submit a report of their activities which should be no
more than 1500 words long.
The report should include:
(a) details of her contribution to the project on which she is working

(c) the names and contact details of two referees, with close knowledge of her
work and/or her outreach activities. References will only be taken up for those
