AHGBI/Liverpool University Press Mid-Career Publication Prize

Liverpool University Press Mid-Career Publication Prize

We are very pleased to share the first call for The AHGBI/Liverpool University Press Publication Prize. The prize recognises outstanding scholarly publications by mid-career academics for original research that demonstrates intellectual rigour, innovation and a significant contribution to academic discourse.

Applicants should be current members of the AHGBI who consider themselves mid-career researchers. A mid-career researcher is usually defined as an academic that is more than three years and less than 15 years out from their PhD and has an established research portfolio. Other profiles that fully justify their status as mid-career academics will be considered if appropriate, but please note this scheme is not open to those researchers who have achieved full professorship status.

Applicants can be specialists in any research area of Hispanism and will normally be employed on a full- or part-time basis on 1^st October in a UK or Irish Higher Education Institution. The prize will be awarded based on the contents of the attached form and on the potential of the project. Publication of the resulting book will be subject to LUP’s standard proposal form guidelines, external peer review and the Editorial Advisory Board approval process. See more information on the assessment process below. 

To apply, candidates should submit a completed proposal publication form (attached) to Ricki O’Rawe, Membership Secretary of the AHGBI, by October 1^st 2026.
