Fowler Award in Royal Astronomical Society

Royal Astronomical Society

The Fowler Award for early achievement in geophysics was established in 2004 through the generosity of Mrs Rosemary Fowler. The prize is awarded to individuals who have made a particularly noteworthy contribution to geophysics (including emerging areas), within 10 years of completing their PhD. This Award and the Fowler Award for early achievement in astronomy are named after father and son, Ralph and Peter Fowler, two of the Royal Astronomical Society's most distinguished Fellows, and also after Rosemary Fowler.

The Society wishes to recognise the achievements of the award winners sufficiently early to give impetus to the recipients’ careers. The scientists may be of any nationality, but, normally, significant parts of the work for which the award is made should have been carried out while the recipient was working in the UK or with facilities in which the UK has a recognised interest e.g. UK-supported observing time on telescopes. At the time of nomination candidates, in normal circumstances, should have completed their PhD (defined as passing the viva examination) no more than 10 years previously. However, this time limit will not restrict the award of the prize to an individual who has taken maternity or paternity leave, who has taken a career break, for example for family reasons, or who has followed another career path (e.g. was educated in a system outside the UK, came to scientific research as a mature individual etc.). This prize is currently £500.

To nominate

Nominations should be submitted by 31 July for the following year's awards and should include:

The online nomination form.
Curriculum Vitae. This should be no longer than 4 pages long. If the CV is not in the public domain, please ensure that you have the nominee's permission to pass on to a third party. Please note that not all award nominations require CVs or publication lists
The top 10 key refereed publications (preferably with citation data. Ideally, this publication list should be extracted from the Web of Science)
Your nomination (minimum length 300 words, maximum length 600 words). This should address how the nominee fulfills the criteria of the Award, and also include the nominee's present career stage, the nominee's present post, and other awards and honours. Successful nominations argue a strong case for why the nominee deserves the award over and above one of their peers working in the same area. It is helpful if the nomination is phrased in such a way that extracts from it can be used in the formal recommendation of the Committee. The panel would also find it helpful if more general information on the nominee’s contributions to the community could be included. For example, mentoring, public engagement work, leadership, committee/panel service, etc. The panel appreciates that such activity will vary according to the career stage of the nominee.
Additionally, please give details of two referees. Please ensure you have contacted the referees and that they agree to write a letter of support. They will receive an automated email from us once the nomination has been submitted.
