<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Please see the attached call for nominations for the Philip Leverhulme Prizes in Physics. These are prizes (£100k) aimed at helping younger researchers (10
years from PhD with allowance for career breaks). As far as I can see potential candidates nominate themselves and need a supporting statement from me. While there is no quota for nominations I would like to be very selective in this process and only submit
really strong cases. If you would like to be considered or if you would like to suggest someone for nomination please read the information carefully and let me know by the end of this month. We will then make a decision on who goes forward from the Department
and there is plenty of time to work up good cases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
