Have you taken a break from your research career and are now looking to come back?
Daphne Jackson Fellowships support returners across all areas of research. They provide the retraining and mentorship needed to successfully return to research after a career break of 2 years or more taken for family, caring or health reasons. Fellowships offer individuals the opportunity to work on a research project on a part-time, flexible and salaried basis in universities, research institutes and industry across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
You can apply for a Daphne Jackson Fellowship in two ways:
Submit an application for an advertised sponsored Fellowship where the field of research and/or the host institution may already be specified by the sponsor. The sponsor will then select their preferred candidate. You can view the opportunities currently available here. Sponsored Fellowships are also advertised on university websites and on jobs.ac.uk
If you know the area of research you would like to return to and/or have identified a potential host institution and/or supervisors, you can apply for a Daphne Jackson Fellowship at any time. If your application is successful, the Trust will endeavour to find suitable sponsorship. Please contact them to obtain further advice.
