Who can be nominated?
To be eligible for the Natural Product Reports Emerging Investigator Lectureship, any candidate should have completed their PhD on or after 31st December 2008, have started publishing independent papers and have made a significant contribution to natural products-related research.

Lectureship details
The recipient will be invited to present a lecture at a conference during 2018 and will receive £500 towards travel and accommodation costs. They will also be presented with a certificate and be asked to contribute a Natural Product Reports article.

How to nominate
