I would definitely look into these fellowships if you want to return to academia after working outside of it / being a carer. They are part-time.
Especially if want to be in Glasgow or Lancaster.
Daphne Jackson Trust provide additional training and a fellowa conference, bringing us all together.
(They fund me at Uni of Edinburgh)

Do you know someone looking to return to research? After a career break of two or more years for family, health or caring reasons... We have part-time funded Fellowship opportunities with Cancer Research UK (CRUK), UK Health Security Agency and in the School of Engineering at Lancaster University.
