Nominations can be lodged with the President at any time for the Society’s Distinguished Visiting Lectureship in Cell & Developmental Biology. Nominees must be internationally renowned overseas cell and/or developmental biologists. It is intended that the nominee will be on sabbatical leave or attending a conference in Australia and/or New Zealand, although other circumstances will be considered. The Lectureship will provide $2,500 to fund a lecture tour in two capital cities outside of the applicant's principal residential State during their visit to Australia/New Zealand. The lecture tour will be advertised by the Society through its email network but additional advertising through other routes is an expectation.
Only one Lectureship may be awarded in any one financial year at the discretion of the President and subject to availability of funds.
Eligibility
Nominees must be proposed by a financial ANZSCDB member, and the proposing scientist must have been a member of the Society for more than one year at the time of the nomination. Nominations will involve a cover letter stating the research interests of the nominee, the reason for their visit to Australia (with approximate dates for the visit), the proposed cities for the lectures and lecture topics or titles. A brief curriculum vitae of the nominee must also be included.
Lectureship Report
Upon completion of the Lecture tour, the responsible ANZSCDB member will submit a short report of the tour highlights for publication in the Society’s newsletter.
