We offer fellowships to people looking to return to research after a break of two years or more, whether taken for family, caring or health reasons. If that’s you – you’re in the right place!

Each fellowship is individually tailored and can be:

Flexible to fit around you

Part-time or variable

In any research setting
in the UK and Ireland

Fellowships include:

  • A challenging research project to help you restart your career
  • A personalised retraining programme

We recruit, retrain, and support fellows as they embark on their journey back to research. Our fellowship advisors work with each applicant to develop a tailored fellowship that delivers the best chance of success. We’re particularly brilliant at this (even if we say it ourselves!)

We provide:

  • A rigorous application process to ensure each fellow has considered all their options.
  • Bespoke training and events to rebuild confidence and create new connections.

Unique mentoring and support from a dedicated Daphne Jackson Fellowship Advisor from the beginning of an application to the end of the Fellowship and beyond.

Our fellowships are only made possible through partnerships with other organisations.

  • Funders: We don’t provide funding ourselves, but we do work with government, universities, learned societies, charities, and industry to secure funding for our fellowships.
  • Hosts: We work with any university, research institute or industry who is interested in hosting a Daphne Jackson Fellow.
  • Supervisors: Each fellow must have at least two supervisors (two of whom must be based at the host organisation) to manage and guide the fellow on day-to-day aspects of their work.
