Prizes & Awards

Post-Doctoral Travel Awards

The DMP Post-Doctoral Travel Awards have been established to recognize innovative materials physics research by Post-Doctoral researchers that will be presented at the APS Global Physics Summit. The awards are supported through the Division of Materials Physics.

We anticipate that there will be multiple $1200 Post-Doctoral Travel Awards in 2026 to support participation in DMP Focus Topic sessions at the APS Global Physics Summit sessions. Submission of an abstract to a DMP Focus Topic is required. The selection of the recipients of the DMP Post-Doctoral Travel Awards will be based on the research quality, the impact of the research at the Global Physics Summit, and the innovative contribution of the post-doctoral researcher. The selection committee will consist of members of the Executive Committee of the Division of Materials Physics.
