The Department of Physics and Astronomy awards a faculty prize worth 2,000 Eur for the best dissertation in the previous two semesters. The prize is sponsored by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation and was awarded for the first time in 2019.
Calls for applications are made in the summer of each year, as applications must reach the Dean's office by the 31st August of that year.
All researchers who have completed their doctoral studies with the grade ”summa cum laude“ in the preceding summer and winter semester may apply for the prize themselves. Furthermore, the first advisors can nominate scientists who have completed their doctoral studies in the preceding summer or winter semester.
Applications include a letter (two pages max.), which is understandable for a general physics community and explains the most important scientific results of the doctoral thesis.
Please send the nomination to dekanat@physik.uni-heidelberg.de.
