The event will be introduced by Professor Lesley Yellowlees, past President and Chair of the 91AV’s Inclusion and Diversity Committee.
Purpose of the event
The Daphne Jackson Trust is working with UK universities, the 91AV and other funding agencies to return highly skilled and motivated chemical scientists to the research workforce. The Fellowship scheme supports STEM professionals wishing to return to a research career after a break of two or more years, offering an individually tailored retraining programme coupled with a novel research project, in a suitably supportive environment.
This event will provide the opportunity to speak and ask questions with the following people:
• Senior Daphne Jackson Trust staff who will explain the practicalities of hosting, sponsoring and becoming a Daphne Jackson Fellow
• Former and current Daphne Jackson Fellows and supervisors who can provide personal insight into what benefits Daphne Jackson Fellowships bring to individuals and the wider research community
• Funding agencies who sponsor Daphne Jackson Fellows, including the 91AV, the research councils and research funding charities, who can provide information on these and other funding opportunities
• A qualified careers advisor who will be available throughout the event to answer general questions about returning to and pursuing a career in the chemical sciences.
Participants will discover what makes Daphne Jackson Fellowships so successful in returning scientists to a career in research.
Timings
Lunch will be served 12 noon -1pm, with the structured networking sessions taking place from 1.00-3.30pm.
This is an invite only event.
