Article Type: Special announcements From: Kybernetes, Volume 37, Issue 7
The Leverhulme Trustees are offering up to 25 Philip Leverhulme Prizes for 2008. The prizes are for outstanding young scholars who have made a substantial and recognised contribution to their particular field of study and whose future contributions are held to be of correspondingly high promise. Prizes are available in the following disciplines:
- •
Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences.
- •
History of Art.
- •
Mathematics and Statistics.
- •
Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern History.
- •
Zoology.
The value of each prize will be £70,000, to be spent within two years. Awards will be made in recognition of the past research achievement of nominees but with the clear recognition that the achievement reflects outstanding promise for future work prizes can be used for any purpose to advance the prize holder’s research, with the following exceptions: augmentation of the prize holder’s salary, capital items and equipment, and institutional overheads.
Prize winners should be under age 36 on Wednesday May 16, 2008 and should hold a post (irrespective of the source of funding) in a UK institution of higher education or research. Nominations are also accepted for those aged 36-39 inclusive if they have had a distinct career change or break. The disciplines selected are intentionally broad, and nominations will be considered regardless of a nominee’s departmental affiliation.
A nomination for a Philip Leverhulme prize must be endorsed by the head of the nominee’s institution and must reach the Trust by 4 00 p.m. on Friday May 16, 2008. Decisions will be made by the end of November 2008, and the prizes may be taken up at any time before the end of November 2009.
