As a member of the Jury for the 2017 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science UK & Ireland Fellowship Awards Programme, I am pleased to announce that the Programme is now open for applications. We will be awarding five outstanding female post-doctoral scientists a bursary of £15,000.
The fellowships are open to female early-career researchers working in the fields of life and physical sciences, engineering, mathematics and computer sciences.  I would like to ask you to encourage as many applicants as possible to apply online at www.womeninscience.co.uk<http://www.womeninscience.co.uk> by the deadline of 25th January 2017.

This unique award is designed to provide practical help to aid female post-doctoral in continuing their cutting-edge research. The fellowship can be spent as the fellow wishes; it could buy a piece of scientific equipment, help to cover child care costs or be used to fund conference travel.
