BMSS Lecture Series

The role of the lecturer is to promote mass spectrometry and the activities of the BMSS, to the wider scientific community. This will help develop a greater understanding of the power of mass spectrometry (MS) and hopefully generate a greater interest in the subject amongst researchers, students and the general public. This promotion of MS will be achieved by the presentation of a series of high impact, research based lectures, describing the lecturers particular field of MS research.

The BMSS Lecturer is requested to present a number of lectures. As the lectures are sponsored by BMSS, there will typically be no cost to the host institution. The lecturer will be sponsored to give up to 4-10 lectures per year in the UK. The final number will be dependent on demand and will be decided by mutual agreement. The lecturer, by agreement with the BMSS, will be sponsored when giving lectures at appropriate international conferences.

The BMSS is currently in the process of selecting its next BMSS Lecturer.
