Each IAU Division has, once a year, the opportunity to award its own prize to the candidate it feels has carried out the most remarkable work in the previous year (i.e. a PhD Thesis?which has been defended?between the 16 December in the previous year, and 15 December this year).?Theses which are in preparation or submitted, but not yet defended by the deadline of a given year will have to be submitted the following year. The recipient of each award receives a range of prizes, tailored by each Division at their own discretion. A standard prize includes airfare and accommodation to attend the next IAU General Assembly where certificates will be awarded. Other prizes might include the opportunity to present their thesis work at Division Days, an invitation to attend presentations to the IAU Executive Committee meeting and dinner at the General Assembly, and the possibility of presenting a talk at either a plenary or special session. Candidates are required tosubmit : an abstract of their thesis that is suitable for public consumption; a 1500-word thesis summary; three letters of recommendation (including one from the PhD advisor); and a CV. The winner of each Division will be decided by the Division?s own standards and methods ? guided by the Division Steering Committee ? and possibly with corroborating external consultation or additional letters of recommendation. The IAU PhD Prize is open to candidates from any country, regardless of whether the country has an IAU National Membership. On top of this, a separate prize is available to be awarded to applicants from developing countries (defined as those not in the OECD). The deadline for all applications is*15 December*every year, to include all applications since the previous year?s deadline. The application form is available here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/KkWkCVARKgCx86BjWSGwnQL?domain=iau.org/ Please note that the deadline is at 11:59 PM in the IAU office in Paris, France (GMT+1). -- ----- Prof. Richard de Grijs Department of Physics and Astronomy Macquarie University Balaclava Road Sydney, NSW 2109 AUSTRALIA Work: +61 2 9850 8317 / +61 2 9850 4166 (secr.)
