Janet Moore was an outstanding teacher, supervisor, and mentor for generations of Cambridge zoologists.  Following her death in 2014, the Department decided to recognise Janet’s contributions by establishing the Janet Moore Prize for supervising in Zoology.  Though she was an essential member of the Zoology teaching team, and Senior Tutor at New Hall (now Murray Edwards College), Janet herself was never a University Teaching Officer, and so this award is about recognising non-UTO supervisors and the extraordinary contribution they make to our Part II class, and the life of the Department.

Each year, Part II Zoology students are asked to nominate outstanding supervisors for the Janet Moore Prize. Previous recipients of the award include:
