The Rudi Lemberg Travelling Fellowship commemorates the contributions of Professor M.R. Lemberg, FAA, FRS to science in Australia.

Purpose

The purpose of the Fellowship is to enable either Australian or overseas scientists of standing to visit Australian scientific centres and to deliver lectures.

Conditions

The Lemberg Fellow may be drawn from any field of biology but special consideration will be given to those areas in which Professor Lemberg had an especial interest, namely biochemistry, conservation and the Australian flora.

As well as having outstanding scientific credentials, the successful candidate must also have a proven ability to deliver public lectures which will reach the lay public and scientists outside of his/her field. It is the responsibility of the nominator to nominate hosts for the arrangement of both public and scientific lectures in the various centres to be visited.

Fellowships are tenable for visits to and within Australia of not less than two weeks. A sum of up to $10,000 is provided as a contribution towards overseas and domestic airfares. It is the responsibility of the nominator to organise funding for living expenses.

The financial support of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is greatly appreciated.
