Dr Yoanna Ariosa Morejon, Senior Research Scientist, Immunocore
Yoanna undertook her Daphne Jackson Fellowship between 2016 and 2018 at the University of Oxford. Her reserach investigating cartilage and bone collagen turnover was co-funded by The Kennedy Trust for Rheumatology Research and the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics.
Reflecting on her roles after her Fellowship, Yoanna says:
My first job after my fellowship was a 0.5 FTE role at the University of Oxford. Six months later, I found another 0.5 FTE role that took me to full-time employment. I was doing both jobs until I started my current full-time job in industry.
“My fellowship was pivotal to bringing me to the research job market at a level aligned with my experience. It gave me confidence, prestige, and the opportunity to build a network in a new country. From a personal perspective, it allowed me to continue caring for my children while working in the job of my choice”.
