Prize winners of the year 2023
Doctoral Award:
Dr. Nora Philippi
Postdoctoral Female Advancement Award:
Dr. Sofia Brenner
Dr. Irene Heinrich
The Ruth Moufang Doctoral Prize can be awarded once a year to a woman who has been awarded a doctorate with a very good result in the Department of Mathematics at the TU Darmstadt. The doctoral prize is awarded by the Dean at the beginning of each year. A certificate for the doctoral prize is to be handed over at the graduation ceremony of the department.
The Ruth Moufang Postdoctoral Female Promotional Prize can be awarded each year to a maximum of two outstanding female postdoctoral students working at FB Mathematik at TU Darmstadt. At the turn of the year, female postdocs can apply for the award with an independent research concept to the dean for the award. In addition to the idealistic award,
- the sponsorship award includes the commitment of the department to employ the prizewinner for one year on a full-time staff position
- the release of the prizewinner from teaching for one semester, which is to be used to prepare an application for third-party funding to finance her own position
- material resources amounting to 2,000 euros, which can be used, for example, for travel.
If desired, the prize winner can also waive the position offered (e.g. if she has already received approval for a third-party funded research position), in which case the material funds increase to 10,000 euros.
