Five outstanding female post-doctoral scientists in the UK or Ireland will be granted a fellowship worth £15,000.
The fellowships were launched in 2007 and provide flexible and practical help to female post-doctoral researchers.
Professor Pratibha Gai of the University of York and the 2013 L’Oréal-UNESCO International For Women In Science European Laureate will Chair the 2015 UK and Ireland awards.
Prof Gai commented, “I am excited to be chairing this year’s judging panel. I am passionate about giving young women every opportunity to excel in their science research. These highly prestigious awards not only recognise the extraordinary range and quality of research being carried out by female scientists in the UK and Ireland today, but are unique in their flexibility for early career female researchers.”
The 2015 awards will be adjudicated by a panel of eminent scientists.
The closing date for applications to the 2015 L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland Fellowships For Women In Science is Friday 13 March 2015. For further information and to apply, please visit the Women in Science website.
