Postdoctoral Poster Competition
FECS hosts an annual poster competition for postdoctoral researchers at the APS March Meeting. The award for the "Best Poster" consists of a $500 prize and a certificate; runners-up will receive a certificate and $100. Note: if you submit an abstract to this session you may still submit another abstract for an ordinary session (for a total of two abstracts).
Rules and Eligibility:
Abstracts are accepted in any topic covered by the March meeting. All postdoctoral fellows within 5 years of earning their PhD are eligible to participate in the competition. The applicant must be the presenting author of the poster and a member of the APS Forum for Early Career Scientists (free to join for APS members).
Nomination and Selection Process:
Please submit an abstract to the “FECS Postdoctoral Poster Competition”, sorting category of the March Meeting. Abstracts in any topic covered by the March meeting are accepted. Again, in addition to submitting an abstract to the FECS Postdoctoral Poster Competition, you are still allowed to submit a different poster or oral abstract to any other sorting category. Submissions are judged by FECS volunteers at the March Meeting according to their objectives, methods, significance, poster quality, and presentation/Q&A.
