Best Postdoctoral Publication Awards

Application | Advisor Nomination | 2009 Recipients | 2008 Recipients | 2007 Recipients

The Postdoctoral Assembly (PDA) of the Society of Toxicology is pleased to announce the Best Postdoctoral Publication Awards. These awards were created to recognize talented postdoctoral researchers who have recently published exceptional papers in the field of toxicology. Applications are reviewed by the Postdoctoral Assembly Board and a committee containing appropriate scientific expertise. The review process follows NIH conflict of interest policy, confidentiality and nondisclosure policies. Three awards, each consisting of a plaque and a $100 cash award, are presented at the Postdoctoral Assembly Luncheon during the SOT Annual Meeting.

  • Application supported by letter from the research advisor
  • Only one paper may be submitted by each applicant
  • Leaders of the Postdoctoral Assembly are eligible but applicants will not participate in the award determination
