Fellowships

There are some fellowships and bursaries specifically aimed at encouraging those who have had career breaks to return to work:

Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships - aimed at scientists and engineers at an early stage in their academic careers who require a flexible working pattern due to personal circumstances.

Daphne Jackson Fellowships - designed to help scientists, engineers and technologists back into a career after a break, normally undertaken on a part-time basis.
