How to apply

If you would like to be considered for a Daphne Jackson Fellowship, please send your curriculum vitae, a personal statement and references to the Trust so that a decision can be made as to whether you are eligible. If eligibility is confirmed, you will be asked to write a draft research and training proposal (guidance is given). Your draft proposal will be assessed for both merit and likelihood of obtaining funding, and a decision will be made on whether you may continue in the process by making a formal application. Several more stages then need to be accomplished before a fellowship offer is made.   

Curriculum Vitae must include:
♦ Dates and details of professional career, indicating full-time and part-time positions
♦ Full degree details. Copies of all qualifications will be requested at a later stage
♦ List of ALL publications and achievements
♦ All recent activities and the skills gained (e.g. setting-up a local play-group, private tutoring work, voluntary work etc.
♦ A personal statement, giving details of career break and the reason. Please clearly state details of your career break.

Personal Statement should show:
♦ Reasons for your career break from research
♦ The research project that you are interested in 
♦ The name of a potential Host Organisation and Supervisor
♦ What your plans are for the future
♦ Why you think a Daphne Jackson Fellowship is suitable for you
♦ How you heard about the Daphne Jackson Trust
