Postdoc position: Career Returner Fellowship

"The LMB is proud to launch a three-year fully funded fellowship for scientists who have had a career break of 12 months or more."

"At the LMB, we understand that stepping away from research – even briefly – can affect career progression. That is why we have created a dedicated postdoctoral fellowship to support researchers who have taken a career break of 12 months or more, for any reason, for example parental leave, health reasons, caregiving, a career change or other personal circumstances."
