Career Development Lecture

 

ARTERY23 – Bonn, Germany

Dr Luca Faconti (King’s College London, United Kingdom)

“Sympathetic regulation of vascular smooth help to explain the disassociation between pulse wave velocity in hypertension”

Career Development Lecture

Aim:

The Career Development Lecture is one of the highlights of the ARTERY annual meeting.

Three junior post-doctoral researchers are given the opportunity to give a 15 minute presentation, highlighting and contextualizing important findings and achievements from their career to date, as well as presenting future plans.  This is contrary to a regular conference abstract presentation which would be an in-depth presentation about a particular study.

Award:

The winner of the Artery Career Development Lecture is awarded €500 and the winner’s name is engraved on a perpetual silver platter.

Eligibility criteria for applicants:

  • Current ARTERY member.
  • Within 7 years of completing their PhD, or the part-time equivalent.
  • Substantial publication track record and pursuit to continue their academic career in the field.
  • The Young Investigators may be from Europe or outside Europe.
  • The selected candidate will be required to produce an extended paper/review of their presentation for publication in ARTERY Research, the society’s Journal (APC will be covered by the Society). Papers should be between 2,000 – 3,000 words, with a maximum of three figures or tables and no more than 40 references.
  • Researchers not previously selected may apply again as long as they still comply with the aforementioned criteria.
  • If selected individuals must confirm, register, and pay for the conference according to the timeline given on the notification letter.

Application process:

The applicant must provide:

  • Abstract of the Career Development Lecture that you will be presenting (max. 250 words).
  • Your Curriculum Vitae which includes a list of publications.
  • A letter of motivation on why you wish to be chosen for this award.
  • A letter of support from a senior researcher in the field.

Evaluation process:

  • The selection of the Career Development Lecturer will be completed by the Artery Executive Committee and is final.

Applications are now closed.
