BPS Developmental Section - Margaret Donaldson Early Career Prize

[Carmel Houston-Price]

Dear Colleagues,

The BPS Developmental Section Committee invites application for the
Margaret Donaldson Early Career Prize 2012, an annual award for
Outstanding Contributions to Developmental Psychology.

The winning candidate will have made an outstanding contribution within
the field of developmental psychology; this will be evident in some or
all of theory development, originality and innovation in methodology,
along with other indicators of esteem. Candidates are eligible for
consideration up to and including 10 years following the award of a PhD.
Candidates need not be a member of the BPS but they must be resident in
the UK. The winner of the award will be invited to deliver a keynote
address at the annual conference of the Developmental Section (5-7 Sept,
2012, University of Strathclyde) and will be awarded a commemorative
certificate, an award of Ł300, and Ł300 towards the cost of attending
the conference.

Applicants can either nominate themselves or they can be nominated by a
colleague. Heads of Department and senior faculty members are
particularly encouraged to nominate eligible colleagues. Applicants from
previous years are eligible to re-apply, and are encouraged to do this.
Nominations should include a one-page statement outlining the
candidate's contribution to developmental psychology plus a full CV and
reprints of the candidate's two best articles. Four copies of all
materials should be submitted.

The Section Committee will appoint a specialist award sub-committee to
adjudicate submissions. Further details of the award may be obtained
from the Chair of the Developmental Psychology Section (Professor
Charlie Lewis, Psychology Department, Fylde Building, Lancaster
University, Lancaster LA1 4YF, e-mail: c.lewis at lancaster.ac.uk) by whom
submissions must be received no later than April 30th 2012. Candidates
will be notified of the outcome by the end of May 2012.
