The world needs science… science needs women!  And so applications for the 2011 L’Oréal Australia For Women in Science Fellowships open on 1 April 2011 and close on 2 May 2011.

The three $20,000 Fellowships are intended to help early career women scientists to consolidate their careers and rise to leadership positions in science. The Fellowships are awarded to women who have shown scientific excellence in their career to date and who have an appropriate research plan that will be assisted by the one-year Fellowship.
