This year I have started a part-time position as fellowship advisor for the Daphne Jackson Trust based at the University of Surrey in Guildford.

The Daphne Jackson Trust offers fellowship to people with a background in a STEM field, who wishes to return to active research after a longer career break for family obligations or health reasons.

My job includes among other things to assess and advise prospective and current fellows on the retraining and research aspects of their fellowships.
