The 2026 Linda Spear Mid-Career Award in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience from the Flux Society recognizes outstanding contributions by scientists at the mid-level of their careers.
Nominees should have been working in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience for at least 8 years following their terminal degree (e.g. PhD, DPhil, MD), but not for more than 19 years. Caregiving leave or time spent in clinical training do not count toward the 19 year limit. Self-nominations are also welcome. Memberships are not required for submissions.
The award winner receives complimentary registration and a 30-minute presentation slot at the next Flux Congress.
Nominations open on January 5, 2026, and close on February 27, 2026.
