Daphne Jackson Fellowship

The Daphne Jackson Fellowship is a retraining fellowship for researchers looking to return to a research career after a break of two or more years for family, health or caring reasons. The fellowship aims to give participants the confidence and skills they need to make a successful return to research. It provides an opportunity to balance a personalised retraining programme with a challenging research project in a supportive UK university or research establishment. The fellowships are flexible, part-time positions usually completed over two years at 0.5 full-time equivalent, with at least 100 hours of retraining per year. Fellows take part in three tailor-made courses during their fellowship covering professional skills, publishing, and confidence building. The Daphne Jackson Trust works in partnership with universities, research councils, learned societies, charities and industry to support researchers returning to their careers.
