Journal lectureships
Recognition that validates the achievements of individuals and teams in the chemical sciences.
Our journal lectureships have the potential to inspire and support the wider scientific community and to promote the value of science to broader society. They cover various subject areas and support talented and eligible scientists in their respective career stages. We recognise career breaks and encourage nominations of individuals who have taken a break for caring responsibilities and personal circumstances, such as parental or adoption leave, family commitments or illness.
