Young Scientist Prize in Computational Physics

International Union of Pure and Applied Physics

We would like to draw your attention to the Young Scientist Prize in Computational Physics which has recently been established by the C20 Commission on Computational Physics of IUPAP. The award is aimed at recognising outstanding achievements of scientists at an early stage of their careers in the broad field of computational physics.

Frequency/Venue:
· Triennially, up to three International Union of Pure and Applied Physics [IUPAP] Young Scientist Prizes in Computational Physics will be awarded.
· They will be announced and presented at the annual Conference on Computational Physics (CCP).
· It is intended that one award be made each year. However, in any given year, the selection committee may, at its discretion, may decide not to make an award. If so, multiple awards may be made in the following year.
· It is proposed that the first award be made at CCP2007 in September 2007, in Brussels

2009 Young Scientist Prize

The Commission on Computational Physics (C20) of IUPAP seeks nominations for its 2009 Young Scientist Prize. Nominees should have a maximum of 8 years of research experience following their PhD and should be the principal performer of original work of outstanding scientific quality in Computational Physics. Awards will be US$1000 each, plus a medal and certificate to be provided by IUPAP. Award money will normally be given as a contribution towards the expenses for attending the the Commission's next Conference on Computational Physics (CCP2009) to be held in Taiwan, December 2009 (http://www.ccp2009.tw/). The winner will be invited to present a paper at this meeting.

Procedures for making a nomination are at http://c20.iupap.org/prizes.htm. The deadline is March 1, 2009.

Nomination should be emailed to J. E. Gubernatis (jg@lanl.gov). Please direct questions to J. E. Gubernatis (jg@lanl.gov).
