In 2021 the Australasian Society for Psychophysiology launched an Early-to-Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Award. This Award consists of a total cash prize of $2000, and the awardee will present a keynote talk at the upcoming ASP conference. For equity, the EMCR Award is open in alternating years to:
Early Career Researchers within 3 years of their PhD conferral, in even years from 2022
Early-Mid Career Researchers (3-7 years from PhD conferral) commencing in 2021 (odd years)
Applications for the 2025 EMCR Award are now open to all current and eligible Early-Mid Career ASP members. Applicants must email their completed application form to our EMCR Committee Lead (danielle.mathersul@murdoch.edu.au) no later than 11.59 pm AWST on Sunday 26 October 2025. Winners of the ASP EMCR Award will be decided by the EMCR Committee*: Dr Danielle Mathersul (Murdoch University; 2021-) and Dr Jack Fogarty (Nanyang Technological University; 2025-).*Where EMCR Committee members are eligible and apply for the EMCR Award, they will be excused from the decision panel.
