Entrants must have a first degree in science, engineering, mathematics, medicine. Age group - up to 35 years

FameLab is trying to find people who want to talk about their work, not the people who have already shifted into science communication or promotion as a full-time career.

We welcome:

• University students in science, mathematics, engineering and medical subjects (with a minimum of a first degree in science)
• Early to mid-stage career researchers
• Lecturers in science, mathematics, engineering, medicine and medical subjects, including specialist science teachers with a science degree
• Researchers who use existing research or meta-studies
• People who work on applying science, technology, mathematics, medicine, medical sciences – for example, patent clerks, statisticians, computer technicians, consultants to industry…
• People who apply science, mathematics, engineering, medicine, medical sciences in the armed forces or government bodies
• People who apply science, engineering, mathematics, medicine, medical sciences in industry or business

Unfortunately we can’t accept people who are:

• Press or PR officers, even for science-related organisations
• Artists who work on science-related themes
• Performers whose shows are about science or engineering
• Science museum/centre staff who work exclusively or mainly with the public
• Journalists or broadcasters (as their main or only job)
• Non-specialist school teachers
• Also people involved in the social sciences

UNLESS that activity is a temporary placement or a short-term job, and they plan to return to practising or researching science or engineering in the near future.

If in doubt, please ask us to make a decision.

Thanks and good luck!
