The Australasian Chronobiology Society New Investigator Publication Award recognises the exceptional contributions of our Early-Mid Career researchers to the field including advances in basic chronobiology, clinical applications of biological rhythms research, and applications of chronobiology in industry and occupational settings. For the 2026 round, the publication being submitted must have been accepted or published after the 1st of January, 2025. Papers must be accepted, in-press, or published and cannot only be posted on a pre-print server. Individuals are eligible to apply for the award if they are currently completing their PhD, or are within 10 years of receiving their PhD (accounting for career disruptions), and are a current member of the Australasian Chronobiology Society (i.e., either attended our 2025 meeting, or are registered for the 2026 meeting).

The winner will receive a cash prize, complimentary registration for the 2026 meeting, and an invitation to present at the 2026 meeting on either the work included in the winning publication, or another topic of their choosing.
