Research Support Fellowships: for technicians, technologists, lab assistants, analysts, machine specialists or similar, in any form of research, as well as those looking to move into these roles.
Daphne Jackson Trust are excited to share with NIA members their new Research Support Fellowships! They offer an unparalleled opportunity for those who have worked in Research Support that have had a career break and are now looking to return to their career in a technical capacity.
They are likely to be particularly suitable for research technicians, technologists, lab assistants, analysts, machine specialists or similar, in any form of research, as well as those looking to move into these roles in future.
The emphasis of these types of Fellowships is on skills, techniques and technologies rather than answering a specific research question. Although different to their traditional research Fellowships, their eligibility criteria remains the same.

Why are the Daphne Jackson Trust introducing these new Fellowships?
Research Support Fellowships allow brilliant, highly skilled technologists and technicians to return to their careers after a break. They will save an incredible amount of knowledge, expertise and specialty from being lost from the sector, and they will help drive new innovations and discoveries across many research disciplines.
They are not intended to replace the traditional research Fellowships – the two schemes will operate alongside each other. But they will help organisations address skills shortages and allow us to support all researchers – in all capacities – back into their careers.
