Allan Ure Bursary – Call for Applications
DEADLINE: 31st May 2013
The Allan Ure Bursary is awarded on an annual basis, alternately by the Atomic Spectroscopy Group of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry (ASG, AD, RSC) and the Atomic Spectrometry Updates (ASU) Editorial Board.
The award is presented to a scientist, at the start of their career, who the adjudicators believe has made a significant contribution to knowledge in the area of the application of atomic spectrometry to environmental science. The successful applicant will receive £500 to help with any expenses that may be of benefit to their career.
Who can apply?
Applicants need not be specialised analytical chemists and may come from fields as diverse as geology, biology, oceanography, geography and environmental science. They will, however, have to demonstrate that they use atomic spectrometry on a regular basis for their work. The scope of the Atomic Spectrometry Update – Environmental Analysis, published each year in the February issue of the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry may be taken as guidance.
Applications
Applications should be made electronically and consist of the applicant’s Curriculum Vitae plus a covering letter which clearly states how the bursary will be used and how the applicant believes this will benefit their career. The name of one referee (normally the applicant’s line manager) who is familiar with the applicant’s recent work should also be provided.
Applications may be submitted to ASG electronically to Dr A Fisher, afisher@plymouth.ac.uk
Further Information
Details of past winners and further information can be found on the ASG Website.
