We are delighted to announce that Dalton Transactions is introducing a new Asian Lectureship Award to accompany our already existing American and European/African Lectureship Awards. The call for nominations for this prestigious award is now open!
We already have in existence two Lectureship Awards spanning the Americas and Europe and Africa, and this new award will cover all of Asia and Australasia:
Call for Nominations!
Nominations are invited for the Dalton Transactions Asian Lectureship, given to recognise the achievements of an emerging Asian/Australasian inorganic chemist.
Key features of the prize
–The recipient of the award will be asked to present a lecture.
-The award will be presented to the recipient at the award lecture.
-They will also be asked to contribute a Perspective article to the journal and will have their work showcased on the back cover of the issue in which their article is published.
-The Dalton Transactions Editorial Office will provide the sum of £1500 to the recipient for travel and accommodation costs.
-The award will be made once a year.
-There will be one recipient of the award per year.
Nomination
Nominations should consist of a nomination letter, a letter seconding the nomination, a CV (maximum 5 pages) and a statement from the candidate (not more than one page) describing their most significant research contributions. Those wishing to make a nomination should send details by email to the Dalton Transactions Editorial Office by 15 September 2010.
Qualification
The recipient of the award should should be in the earlier stages of their scientific career, i.e. in the first 12 years of receiving their doctorate or equivalent degree.

Dalton Transactions is publishing a themed issue dedicated to the inorganic contribution to radiopharmaceutical chemistry entitled “Radiopharmaceuticals for Imaging and Therapy”. This issue is to be Guest Editored by Professor Stephen Faulkner (Oxford University) and Professor Nick Long (Imperial College London).
Radiopharmaceuticals have already made an enormous contribution to the diagnosis and therapy of disease. Rapid development of the field continues, with important new approaches to targeting, bioconjugation and control of biological kinetics as well as through the application and purification of new radioisotopes, the development of new experimental techniques and the application of radioisotopes in multimodal imaging.
The time seems right to highlight and review these developments, and to present them in a single issue to the wider community of inorganic chemists. With this themed issue on radiopharmaceutical chemistry, we are aiming to highlight contributions from leading experts of the field, illustrating the scope of these new developments and analysing their potential in detail.
Submission Deadline: 15 October 2010
Submissions, either communications or full papers, should be high-quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research. To submit a manuscript for this themed issue please use our online submission service.
For further information about this issue please contact us at Dalton@rsc.org.
