Organic Chemistry early career prize: Hickinbottom Prize
Opens 15 Oct 2024 12:00 AM (BST)
Deadline 14 Jan 2025 05:00 PM (GMT)
Description

The Hickinbottom Prize is awarded for outstanding contributions to any area of organic chemistry made by an early career scientist.

  • The winner receives £3000, a medal and a certificate  
  • The winner will complete a UK lecture tour 
  • The winner will be selected by the RSC Organic Chemistry Prize Committee

  • Only RSC Members can nominate for this prize.
  • Nominees may NOT nominate themselves.
  • The prize is open to nominees working in the UK and Ireland only.
  • Nominees for this prize should be an early career scientist:
    • After fully taking account of any time away from research, career breaks or interruptions, nominees will typically have no more than 10 years of full-time equivalent professional experience at the closing date for nominations.
    • We define this as experience gained as part of a career working in scientific research, excluding time spent in full-time education. For example, experience studying as a postgraduate (PhD) student is not included, but this does include experience working as e.g. a post-doctoral researcher, or working in research in industry.
    • Nominators will be asked to provide details of the nominee's professional experience, in relation to the above criteria.
    • We particularly encourage nominations of disabled people, those who work part-time, or whose career has spanned a break for any reason – for example, a period of parental or adoption leave, caring responsibilities, long-term illness, family commitments, or other circumstances. We understand that these can impact a nominee’s career in different ways, and encourage nominators to use the space provided on the nomination form to explain the nature and impact of the nominees’ individual circumstances.
  • When nominating previous RSC prize winners, please remember that a person cannot be awarded twice for substantially the same body of work
