Opportunity overview
The Royal Society’s Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship helps early-career natural scientists establish an independent research career at a UK university or eligible research organisation. The scheme is designed for researchers who have an ongoing need for flexible support because of caring responsibilities or a personal health condition.
The eight-year fellowship combines research funding with mentoring, career development and a community of research fellows. It can accommodate part-time work and extended leave where needed. Applications undergo eligibility screening, scientific review and an interview stage; demonstrating both research potential and the need for flexibility is central to the scheme.
