About this Fellowship
Applications are invited for a three-year Daphne Jackson Fellowship sponsored by Alzheimer’s Society. The Fellowship is open to talented dementia researchers with biomedical or care specialisms who wish to return to research within a UK university or research institution.
About Alzheimer’s Society
Alzheimer’s Society is committed to supporting early-career researchers (ECRs) and improving the career pipeline to help ECRs to become independent researchers. We know that research careers provide very little scope for extenuating circumstances or the challenges that come with balancing work and home life. This lack of flexibility can often lead to difficult decisions about whether a career in research is still feasible, with many researchers feeling forced to leave. Alzheimer’s Society and Daphne Jackson Trust are working in partnership to support those individuals that have had to leave research in returning to their careers; preventing the loss of diverse, talented researchers from the dementia field.
About Daphne Jackson Fellowships
We are dedicated to returning professionals to their careers in research after a break for two years or more for family, caring or health reasons.
Our Fellowships are unique – they offer professionals the opportunity to balance an individually tailored retraining programme with a challenging research project in a suitably supportive environment. The unparalleled support offered by our Fellowship Advisors and administrative staff, coupled with mentoring and retraining provided during the Fellowship, give returners the confidence and skills they need to return successfully to research.
