Applications are invited for a Daphne Jackson Fellowship that will be hosted by the University of Huddersfield.

The fellowship is intended for individuals returning to research in any STEM subject in departments within the School of Applied Sciences.

 

The Daphne Jackson Trust is dedicated to returning scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians to their careers following a break taken for family, caring or health reasons.

 

This Fellowship is part-time over three years and consists of a challenging research project and at least 100 hours retraining per year. The unparalleled support offered by the Trust's Fellowship Advisors and administrative staff, coupled with mentoring and retraining provided during the Fellowship, give returners  the confidence and skills they need to successfully return to research.
