The PHYS Division of the American Chemical Society is soliciting application for the Graduate Student Award in Theoretical Chemistry. The Award consists of a $500 prize and an invited talk at a PHYS Symposium at the Fall National ACS Meeting 2017 in Washington DC.

We invite applications from current graduate students in theoretical chemistry. Nomination is to be done by the PhD advisor of the applicant. The merit of the PhD research of the applicant will be the basis for selection of the Awardees. The following material should be submitted to the secretary of the Theory Subdivision, Jan Steckel (steckel@netl.doe.gov) by the nominator as a single pdf file by February 1, 2017:
