About this prize
This lectureship award from the RSC Chemical Biology and Bioorganic Group (CBBG) is to recognise the excellent contributions of mid-career scientists to both research and the UK community in chemical biology and bioorganic chemistry.
This prize will run annually from 2023 and will consist of an invitation to give a key-note lecture at one of our flagship events (including the CBBG Postgraduate Symposium, CBBG Forum and Firbush meeting).
The award will be made for the most meritorious contributions to research in chemical biology and bioorganic chemistry in its broadest sense based on published papers, contributions to conferences and/or other research outputs.
Additionally, the lectureship will be awarded based on excellent contributions to the UK chemical biology community including but not restricted to event contributions, outreach, promoting diversity and inclusion and/or other community-based activities from the candidate and/or their research group. We encourage the nomination of researchers in academia and in industry.
Nominations are any mid-career scientists as defined by existing RSC guidelines (typically no more than twenty years of full-time equivalent professional experience i.e. twenty years post PhD with flexibility for those who have taken career breaks)
The prize is open to nominees working in the UK or Ireland only
Self-nomination and the nomination of others are both permitted but individuals should not be nominated for the same body of work already recognised by an RSC Prize
Members of the CBBG Awards Sub-Committee and serving CBBG-named officers are not eligible for nomination and cannot put forward nominations
Previously unsuccessful nominees are eligible provided they still fall within the eligibility criteria and will be automatically reconsidered in the following year's award cycle
Nominations must be made using the and must include supporting evidence for contributions to both research and community.
Nominations will be considered by the CBBG Awards Sub-Committee (Anna Barnard, Michael Booth, Robin Bon, David Hewings, Joanna Mcgouran, Nigel Richards and Marina Rubini).
