Early Stage Career Investigator Award

Abstracts are invited for the Early Stage Investigator Award which is being sponsored

Early stage researchers are those who are in their first or (exceptionally) their second post-doctoral post. ‘Independent’ investigators will not be included.

The six best Abstracts as selected by the judging panel (Chaired by John Timms) will be scheduled for oral presentation (10 minutes + 5 minutes for discussion) in a relevant Session of the meeting.

Those who are not selected as finalists for oral presentation for the Early Stage Career Investigator Award will be invited to present a poster at the meeting.

Abstracts for the Early Stage Investigator Award must be submitted on-line. The deadline for submissions is now Friday 17th June 2011. Remember to select ‘Apply for Early Stage Career Investigator Award’ as the type of presentation
