Nominate a Colleague for an Upcoming Spectroscopy Award

Each year, Spectroscopy honors two outstanding professionals for their work in molecular and atomic spectroscopy.

Joseph Smith was the 2024 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award winner.

The Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award recognizes the achievements and aspirations of a talented early-career atomic spectroscopist, selected by an independent scientific committee, the award is presented each year at the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry.

The Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award recognizes the achievements of a talented early career molecular spectroscopist, selected by an independent scientific committee, the award is presented each year at the SciX Conference.

We are currently accepting nominations for the 2025 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award and the 2026 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award.

To nominate a colleague for one of these awards, please complete this form.

Here’s an overview of the updates to the selection and application process for Spectroscopy awards.

• To broaden our applicant pool, we’ve removed the previous 10-year post-Ph.D. restriction to our Emerging Leader awards, allowing us to recognize outstanding candidates who may fall outside that range.
• Unless otherwise specified, candidates who do not receive an award will remain in the applicant pool for future years. Nominators and nominees may also choose to submit updates to their applications.
• Applications are accepted year-round and will be considered for the next available application cycle after submission.

We are looking forward to reviewing your nominations. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to me at chroncich@mjhlifesciences.com.
