We have introduced a new Early Career Researcher award, and will be giving an annual prize of £1000 for the best paper by an early career researcher published in an issue of Parasitology during the previous year (2020). Those eligible will normally be no more than 7 years post award of their PhD and should either be the first, last, or corresponding author of the article.

If you are eligible and would like to be considered for the 2021 award (for papers published in 2020), please can you email Alison Paskins (axpaskins@cambridge.org) with the following by the 10^th February:

·         Your full name and the year of award of your PhD

·         Article title

·         A few sentences summarising the findings of your paper

Russell Stothard (Editor-in-Chief), and the Editors will then assess the papers, and announce the best paper later in the year.
