Description
The Mech SS Postdoctoral Award is offered by the Society of Toxicology through its Mechanisms Specialty Section. It recognizes one postdoctoral scholar conducting research in mechanistic toxicology, with selection centered on the scientific quality of a research abstract and the use of biochemical, pharmacological, or toxicologic techniques to answer mechanistic toxicology questions.
The award is tied to research presented at the upcoming SOT Annual Meeting rather than a separate proposed research project. The recipient is announced at the Mechanisms Specialty Section business meeting during the Annual Meeting and receives a certificate and cash prize. Membership in the Mechanisms Specialty Section is encouraged but not required.
