About this fellowship
Applications are invited for up to two British Heart Foundation Daphne Jackson Fellowships to be held at any UK university or research institute. The Fellowships are intended for individuals who want to return to an area of cardiovascular research after a career break from research of two years or more. Applicants should have a PhD and preferably postdoctoral experience. Usually fellowships are generally part-time, however candidates can now opt to start part time and progressively increase their FTE to full-time over 3 years if preferred.
The Fellowship is awarded for a fixed term of three years.
