     "INSPIRE potentials - Master Internship Awards" for women researchers

Ten "INSPIRE potentials: Master Internship Awards" in first-principles
simulations are available to outstanding women researchers for 6 month
stays in Swiss research groups belonging to the MARVEL NCCR
(http://nccr-marvel.ch/en/references/equal-opportunities/marvel-laboratories).

In a field of science where women are still strongly
underrepresented, the "INSPIRE potentials - Master Internship Awards"
aim to support excellent female students in their Master thesis
projects, while giving them access to outstanding research facilities
and enviroments.

There are two deadlines for submission: 15 May and 15 October 2016; all
information can be found at:
http://nccr-marvel.ch/en/references/equal-opportunities/inspire-potentials

Note that the INSPIRE Potentials Master Internship awards are initiated
in close collaboration with the NCCR QSIT — Quantum Science and Technology
(http://www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch/education/advancementofwomen/inspire),
that offers another set of fellowships in their field.
