The EES Lectureship is open to researchers worldwide who have made significant contributions to energy science.

Where possible, we encourage each nominator to consider nominating candidates of all genders, races, and backgrounds.
To be eligible for the EES Lectureship, the candidate must:
- Have completed their PhD
- Have published a research article in Energy & Environmental Science in the past 3 years
- Be working in a research area within the scope of Energy & Environmental Science
- Be at an early stage of their independent career (typically this will be within 10 years of completing their PhD, but appropriate consideration will be given to those who have taken a career break or followed a different study path)
Nominations can be made by anyone (with the exception of members of the selection panel) and must be sent via email. Self-nominations are not permitted.
To nominate a candidate, please provide:
- A completed EES Lectureship nomination form
- A brief letter of recommendation

Consideration is given to all information provided in the letters of recommendation, candidate CV and nomination form. The winner of the EES Lectureship is selected by a panel of Editorial Board members, including the Editorial Board Chair and Executive Editor.
Journal lectureships
Our journal lectureships have the potential to inspire and support the wider scientific community and to promote the value of science to broader society. They cover various subject areas and support talented and eligible scientists in their respective career stages. We recognise career breaks and encourage nominations of individuals who have taken a break for caring responsibilities and personal circumstances, such as parental or adoption leave, family commitments or illness.
