IEEE Magnetics Society Mid-Career Award

A single annual award of $2,000 to a single recipient, plus up to $500 for travel to the award ceremony, Certificate, and life membership in the IEEE Magnetics Society.

Funded by the IEEE Magnetics Society through an existing endowment administered by the IEEE Foundation which should be sufficient to fund in perpetuity. If these funds are not sufficient, the IEEE Magnetics Society will directly fund the difference.

At the INTERMAG conference during the Plenary Session in the year following the selection of the awardee.

Established in 2020 and first awarded in 2021

The selection committee, which is a subcommittee of the Honors and Awards Committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society, evaluates the candidates regarding their scientific achievements with respect to a field represented by the IEEE Magnetics Society. It discusses for each candidate whether the contribution is significant and merits consideration for the award. Discussion and decision can be made either by a conference call or by email.

Members of the IEEE Magnetics Society in the mid-stages of their career, defined as the ten-year period bridging 10 years to 20 years after the PhD was awarded, measured from the actual month of the award. Extensions may be granted for individuals who received official leave from their Institutions in consideration of significant career interruptions, such as family responsibilities or military service. The period of extension is equal to the officially granted leave period, which must be noted in the nomination application.
