Daphne Jackson Fellowships

 

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.

 

Daphne Jackson Fellowships are unique - They offer STEM professionals wishing to return to a research career after a break of two or more years, the opportunity to balance an individually tailored retraining programme with a challenging research project in a suitably supportive environment.

 

Fellowships are part-time over two years and consist 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.

 

If selected as the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences preferred fellowship candidate you will be expected to successfully progress through the Daphne Jackson Fellowship Award process before taking up your appointment at the University of Sussex.

 

The award process will involve the development of a proposal for the independent research project that you will undertake during the course of the Fellowship. Throughout the duration of the process you will receive support from a Daphne Jackson Fellowship advisor. In addition you will need to work closely with a supervisor that you identify within the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex as you develop your research proposal.
