We are the UK’s leading organisation dedicated to realising the potential of returners to research careers following a career break of two years or more taken for a family, caring or health reason.

We offer Fellowships across all fields of research in universities, research institutions and industry in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Our recent remit expansion to include the arts and humanities means we work cohesively with organisations across STEM, social sciences, arts, humanities, and all other related disciplines.

We welcome applications from everyone and from all backgrounds.
