Application Deadline: July 15, 2026

LOCATION: Sweden

The Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists was established in 2013. A global prize aimed at rewarding scientists at an early stage of their careers. The international prize is awarded annually to four young scientists for outstanding life science research based on a doctoral degree earned in the previous two years.

ELIGIBILITY:

Entrants for the prize must have received their Ph.D. between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024. Entrants may only apply once within this time period, and the work described in the entry must have been performed while the entrant was a graduate student. The prize is open to residents of all nations without regard to sex or race.

In addition to completing an online entry form applicants must submit an essay describing their thesis work in one of the qualified categories. The essay cannot exceed 1,000 words in length and may include one figure or table.

Applicants must also submit a one-page reference letter from their advisor or a member of their thesis committee with an assessment of the applicant and a comment on the significance of the applicant’s research.

In addition, a list of citations, awards, and relevant professional experience should be included, as well as an abstract of the thesis.

The application form can be found at the Science website.

Winners are selected in October and announced in November each year. The awards ceremony is held in Stockholm during the first week of December, the same week that the Nobel Prize ceremony and banquet take place.

BENEFIT:

The grand prize winner receives $30,000 USD, and each of the other three category winners receives $10,000 USD.
