Now welcoming nominations for the 2019 PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship and inaugural Themed Issue.
Lectureship and Themed Issue details
Recognising and supporting the significant contribution of early career researchers in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry, the lectureship is a platform for early career physical chemists to showcase their research to the wider scientific community.
The lectureship recipient will receive £1000 to cover travel and accommodation costs to attend and present at a leading international meeting. The recipient will also be invited to contribute a Perspective article to PCCP. In addition, selected nominees will be invited to submit to an inaugural Emerging Investigator Themed Issue.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the lectureship and themed issue, candidates must:
• Have completed their PhD
• Be actively pursuing an independent research career within physical chemistry, chemical physics or biophysical chemistry.
• Be at an early stage of their independent career (typically this will be within 10 years of completing their PhD, but appropriate consideration will be given to those who have taken a career break or followed a different study path).
Selection criteria, nomination and judging process
• Nominations must be made via email to pccp-rsc@rsc.org using the PCCP Emerging Investigator nomination form and a letter of recommendation.
• Nominators may only nominate one candidate for consideration per year.
• Individuals cannot nominate themselves for consideration.
• Selection will be made by the PCCP Editorial Board at the 2019 Fall PCCP Editorial Board meeting.
• The Lectureship winner will be selected based on their nomination, with due consideration given to the letter of recommendation, candidate biography, research achievements, previous PCCP publications and overall publication history.
• Selected shortlisted nominees, as chosen by the PCCP Editorial Board, will be invited to submit to an inaugural Emerging Investigator Themed Issue following the 2019 Lectureship winner selection.

The Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft and Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) are delighted to announce that the official themed issue of the Bunsentagung 2019 meeting is now online.
Functional materials form the core of many modern technologies, e.g. in energy conversion and storage, heterogeneous catalysis, drug delivery, implants, biosensors and optical devices. The challenges in the design and characterization of modern materials are diverse and interdisciplinary. They require joint research across scientific boundaries. The most challenging tasks range from the synthesis of materials, the developments of novel experimental characterization tools and theoretical methods for atomistic description of material properties, in silico material screening for tailoring the interaction of materials with their environment and device engineering. Physical chemistry is a key scientific discipline for successful achievement of these tasks.
The issue is guest-edited by Benjamin Dietzek (Jena University), Leticia Gonzalez (University of Vienna), Christina Roth Free (University of Berlin), Sebastian Schlücker (University of Duisburg-Essen), Andrey Turchanin (Jena University), Dr Maria Wächtler (Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Jena).
Read the official full collection online free until 31 August 2019.
