Taken a break from your research career in kidney disease and are now looking to return to work? Seeking an opportunity to re-establish your skills and make a positive impact in your field? Applications are now open for our two-year fully-sponsored Fellowship. 

This Fellowship is designed to support kidney researchers to return to work after a career break, allowing them to continue making a difference to patients living with kidney disease and their families. Currently there are around 3.5 million people living with kidney disease in the UK; treatment can be gruelling and there is no cure. Kidney Research UK are committed to supporting the work to end this, offering hope for the future. 

The Daphne Jackson Fellowship is an innovative way for experienced researchers to return to work after a career break. Elaine Davies, director of research operations at Kidney Research UK commented, "We are delighted to work with the Daphne Jackson Trust to support researchers in returning to their vital work in kidney disease. We have seen in previous years how successful this individually-tailored programme is; by offering dedicated advice and mentorship alongside financial support, the Daphne Jackson Trust provide a unique opportunity for those looking to re-join kidney science. We would encourage anyone who would like to restart their career to apply before the deadline of 6 March 2023.”
