EBBS Mid-Career award

The purpose of the EBBS Mid-career Award is to recognise a researcher whose work falls within the areas covered by the Society and who is currently active in research, and has a distinguished research record over a substantial period (10-20 years post award of their Ph.D., with adjustment for career breaks).

The committee will consider a number of factors in making the award, such as:

• Evidence of strong research leadership, including mentoring and building research networks
• Engaging with and enhancing public understanding of the brain and/or neuroscience
• Interdisciplinary approaches providing novel perspectives

Individuals can nominate themselves, or be nominated by a current member of the society AND those nominated should be a fully paid-up member of the Society by the time the nomination is submitted.

Nominations should include:

• No more than 2 pages of A4 outlining five major contributions to the field
• 1 page CV of the nominated individual
• No more than 2 pages supporting statement from a member, outlining the impact the individual has had on the field

Winners of the award will be notified directly by the Society and will be expected to accept the award and present a talk in person at the next Society’s meeting (every other year in odd-numbered years).

The Society actively encourages nominations of individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups.

Nominations should be sent to the EBBS Secretary (secretary@ebbs-science.org).
