2022 ISPL Awards > Paul Stumpf Award

Paul K Stumpf Award:

The Paul K Stumpf Award is presented to a promising early-career plant lipid researcher. This award honors the landmark contributions of Paul Stumpf to plant lipid biochemistry. The recipient will receive this award and the opportunity to orally present their submitted paper at ISPL2020.

To be eligible, applicants must be either (a) currently undertaking a PhD project in plant lipid science, or (b) already have a PhD and less than 8 years relevant post-doctoral experience. Applications will close on March 31 and outcomes will be notified before April 15. The committee will use scientific merit and the candidate’s promise as their main criteria, respecting also Paul Stumpf’s intentions of fostering a world-wide family of plant lipidologists.

Applicants should provide a letter demonstrating that they satisfy the above eligibility criteria, outlining their career achievements, and including the abstract of their proposed presentation. Applicants should also submit this abstract on-line by March 30. Applicants need to also arrange for a confidential letter of recommendation from their supervisor or senior colleague, which must be submitted directly to the ISPL Organizing Committee by their supervisor/colleague. Submissions should be emailed to Eric Maréchal (eric.marechal@cea.fr) by March 31.
