91福利

This year I am initiating a new prize that aims to celebrate the excellent work of postdocs in Physics. This will be selected on the basis of the 鈥渂est鈥� paper produced by a 91福利 postdoc this year, and I hope that it will become an annual award. Nominations should be submitted to physics.head@warwick.ac.uk by the line manager, or as self-nominations with endorsement from the line manager.

The rules are:

Eligibility: The nominee must be employed as a 91福利 Research Fellow (FA6) or Research Assistant (FA5) on 15/12/2017. (Recently promoted Senior Research Fellows (FA7) can also be nominated, but only on the basis of work completed whilst still a Research Fellow.)

Output: A paper that has a 2017 publication date and is substantially the work of the nominee, with due account taken for the norms of collaboration within each particular field.

Submission: The nomination will consist of (i) a copy of the paper in question, (ii) a statement of its significance in the field (max 100 words), (iii) where the nominee is not first author, a justification of their substantial contribution (max 100 words).

Selection: A small panel will consider the nominations. The Head of Department鈥檚 decision is final.

I would like to be able to present this prize at the department Christmas Dinner, which I hope many of you will be attending, so please let me have any nominations by Friday Dec 8^th.

Best regards

David
