Nominations are sought for the Young Scientist Prizes in Semiconductor Physics awarded by the IUPAP C8 Commission on Semiconductors. Two prizes are awarded biennially for outstanding contributions to semiconductor physics and its applications, made by early career scientists with, at the application deadline of Dec. 31, 2017, a maximum of 8 years of research experience (excluding career interruption) following the award of the PhD. The prizes will be awarded during the 34th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors to be held in Montpellier, France from July 29 to August 3, 2018. The prizes include commemorative IUPAP medals, 1000 Euros, and the opportunity to present the prize work during a plenary awards session at ICPS34.
