Reaxys, a workflow solution that provides extensive information on chemical compounds, related physical and pharmacological properties, has announced the launch of the 3rd Annual Reaxys PhD Prize. The competition is for chemistry students currently studying for a PhD or having completed a PhD within the last 12 months.
The prize will be awarded to the candidates that best demonstrate excellence in methodology and approach in a peer-reviewed publication. Three prize winners will each receive a cheque for $2000 and will be invited to present their research at the Winners’ Symposium.
The 2012 Winners’ Symposium will be held at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall Meeting in Philadelphia, August 19 – 23, 2012. The Symposium is sponsored by the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry and co-sponsored by the ACS Division of Organic Chemistry. The three winners will each present papers at the symposium alongside papers given by two members of the Reaxys Advisory Board – Professor Barry M. Trost from Stanford University and Professor Dr Martin Jansen from Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart.
All entries will be reviewed by a review board of leading international chemists, chaired by the members of the Reaxys Advisory Board. Submissions will be reviewed based upon originality, innovation, importance to the field, applicability, rigor of approach and publication quality.
All submissions must include a PhD Supervisor letter of recommendation, a CV and a representative peer-reviewed piece of published research. Entries should be submitted on or before February 15, 2012 at http://prize.reaxys.com.
