The Tom Cavalier-Smith prize recognizes contributions to evolutionary protistology, or related fields (e.g. protist biology, diversity or ecology), by early career researchers.

Candidates should be advanced PhD students or junior postdocs (up to 3 years post-PhD), and ISEP members. They can be nominated by a senior scientist but self-nominations are also possible. Nominees should answer a few questions on their motivation. Nomination and nominee forms are available below.

Recipients of the TCS prize will be invited to give a lecture in the next ISEP meeting.

Filled forms must be sent to isep.protists@gmail.com
