2013 Physical Chemistry Division Lectureship

Nominations are called for the 2013 RACI Physical Chemistry Division Lectureship. The Physical Chemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Inc. has established a funded Lectureship to allow outstanding early- and mid-career physical chemists to travel around Australia and present the results of their research work. The objective is to provide the Lecturer with the opportunity to achieve broader recognition of their career achievements to date.

The Lectureship will be awarded at the forthcoming Division Conference in Hobart, 3-6 December 2013 and will be tenable for the period until the next Conference (Adelaide, December 2014).

Nominations should be submitted to the Division Secretary, Prof. Michelle Coote. Electronic submissions only will be accepted and should be forwarded to mcoote@rsc.anu.edu.au.

2014 Physical Chemistry and Biophysics Fellowship

Nominations are called for a special RACI Fellowship for 2014 intended to foster links between the RACI and the Australian Society for Biophysics (ASB). The ASB is hosting an international biophysics meeting in Brisbane 3-7 Aug 2014, see http://www.iupab2014.org/. This Fellowship is to pay the costs of international travel for a prominent scientist to present their work at this meeting as well as participate in RACI activities. The most likely form of this participation is envisaged to be presentation of their work at the RACI Congress in Adelaide, 7-12 December 2014, for which local travel funding from within Australia will also be provided. The total amount payable is $3000.

Nominations should be submitted to the Division Secretary, Prof. Michelle Coote. Electronic submissions only will be accepted and should be forwarded to mcoote@rsc.anu.edu.au. The nomination should indicate which RACI (and in particular it's Physical Chemistry Division) activities it will support, a brief cv including a recent publication list, list of recent awards, and list of recent invited and plenary lectures. It should also include a brief summary addressing the selection criteria. The RACI will pay for the reimbursement of standard economy-class air fares after the presentation of a brief report outlining the recipient's activities in Australia concerning the RACI and the ASB.
