The Daphne Jackson Trust is a charitable organisation that runs a returners scheme to help scientists, engineers and technologists (SET) who have been disadvantaged by having a career break.  The Trust normally offers two year part-time Fellowships for returners to SET.  Fellows carry out a supervised research project and a retraining programme at a UK University or research laboratory.  Fellows are offered support, guidance and mentoring throughout the application process and Fellowship and each Fellowship is unique.  On completion Fellows are able to compete for employment with their peers on a level playing field. Our success rate of Fellows returning to scientific careers is excellent.

To be eligible, returners must have at least a first degree in a SET discipline (many applicants have PhD's and post doctoral experience), have had a career break of two years or more and must be resident in the UK.  Men and women may apply.

If you are a returner or know someone who would like to return to their career and would be interested in a Fellowship in any of the locations listed above please contact the Daphne Jackson Trust Office on 01483 689166 or djmft@surrey.ac.uk.
