Lectureships

Applications are closed.

Election of lecturers

The Council invites applications for election to the offices of:

• Arris and Gale lecturer – on a subject relating to human anatomy and physiology;
• Arnott lecturer – on a subject relating to anatomy;
• Hunterian lecturer.

Since 1810, some of the most famous names in UK surgery have given a Hunterian Lecture, including Abernethy, Brodie, Treves, Spencer Wells, Bland Sutton, Trotter and Moynihan. The lecture should include a reasonable proportion of original, previously unpublished work. By tradition, the Hunterian Lectures have a strong flavour of clinical investigation supported by good science and evidence.

The College would like to encourage applications from more established surgeons to submit work representing a lifetime of practice and younger surgeons with translational and directly clinically relevant research. Where the work is of a more basic science nature and laboratory-based, an application for an Arris and Gale Lectureship would be more appropriate.

Eligibility

To be eligible for these awards, applicants must be a fellow or a member of the College or Faculty of Dental Surgery.

Lectures will normally be delivered in the UK. Exceptionally, they may be delivered outside the UK, subject to the approval of the Research Fellowships and Lectureship Group, provided a member of the Council of this College is present for the lecture.

Appointments are made on the condition that those elected will give the College first refusal to publish their lecture in the Annals. Copyright for publications will be retained by the College.
