Journal lectureships
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.

Since 2015, the JAAS Lectureship has been awarded through a process whereby nominations of candidates are invited from our community. As part of the ÍâÍøÌìÌÃ, we believe we have a responsibility to promote inclusivity and accessibility to improve diversity.

To be eligible for the JAAS Lectureship, the candidate must:
- Have completed their PhD
- Have published in JAAS
- Be working in a research area within the scope of JAAS
- Be at an early stage of their independent career (typically this will be within 10 years of completing their PhD, but appropriate consideration will be given to those who have taken a career break or followed a different study path).
Nominations can be made by anyone and must be sent via email. Self-nominations are not permitted. All nominators will be asked to confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, their nominee’s professional standing is such that there is no confirmed or potential impediment to them receiving the Lectureship.

- A one-page statement of achievement with a lay summary, written by the nominee describing their best accomplishments
