Dear pw'ers,
this is to alert you of the following initiative (see below), dedicated to women's researchers currently pursuing a master degree, that would like to spend 6 months in a Swiss research group belonging to MARVEL. The fellowships (10 in 2016) are for up to 10,000 CHF each, with application deadlines of May 15 and Oct 15. nicola "INSPIRE potentials - Master Internship Awards" for women researchers Ten "INSPIRE potentials: Master Internship Awards" in first-principles simulations are available to outstanding women researchers for 6 month stays in Swiss research groups belonging to the MARVEL NCCR (http://nccr-marvel.ch/en/references/equal-opportunities/marvel-laboratories). In a field of science where women are still strongly underrepresented, the "INSPIRE potentials - Master Internship Awards" aim to support excellent female students in their Master thesis projects, while giving them access to outstanding research facilities and enviroments. There are two deadlines for submission: 15 May and 15 October 2016; all information can be found at: http://nccr-marvel.ch/en/references/equal-opportunities/inspire-potentials Note that the INSPIRE Potentials Master Internship awards are initiated in close collaboration with the NCCR QSIT — Quantum Science and Technology (http://www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch/education/advancementofwomen/inspire), that offers another set of fellowships in their field.
