Daphne Jackson Fellowship opportunity with Orthopaedic Research UK

Orthopaedic Research UK funded Daphne Jackson Fellowship

Applications are invited for a three year, part-time Daphne Jackson Fellowship co-funded by Orthopaedic Research UK specialising in musculoskeletal (MSK) research at any UK university or research establishment. The fellowship is intended for scientists, bioengineers, academic clinicians and allied health professionals who want to return to their MSK research careers after an enforced career break.

The remaining funding will be secured by the Daphne Jackson Trust from an additional funder.

Daphne Jackson Fellowships

Daphne Jackson Fellowships are unique.  They offer the opportunity to return to a career in research after a break of at least two years for family, caring or health reasons.

Our fellowships enable people to overcome the challenges of returning to a career as a researcher or research technical professional. They ensure that skills, talent, training and career promise are not lost.

We support people through our application process for a fellowship that combines a personalised programme of retraining and mentorship. Our fellows gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed and enable them to generate novel, high-quality research findings or make essential contributions to the technical research environment.

You can find an example of a previous recipient of the award by reading about the inaugural winner, Dr Nikki Kuiper’s project.
