New principal investigators: a spotlight on recent appointees

Submissions now open

Deadline: Ongoing

We are delighted to announce a special collection designed to feature members of our community who are just starting out as principal investigators.

Did you start your principal investigator position within the last three years? (Eligibility is flexible to allow for career breaks.)

We know it can be tough setting up a new lab, training students for the first time, teaching undergraduates, as well as growing your own profile in the community.

We want to help. If you submit to this collection, and if your paper is accepted, we will offer extra promotion and visibility through our journal networks to raise your profile with an interview-style blog discussing your vision for your group’s research.

Please quote “New Principal Investigator Collection” in the submission form when it asks you if you are contributing to a themed collection.
