Rowntree Fellowship
The School has a strong desire to support staff who take parental leave and to ensure that support is available to minimise the long-term impact that this can have on their academic output. The Rowntree Fellowship provides up to £10k to be used as they choose to maintain their career trajectory following parental leave. This might include travel to develop new or reinvigorate research collaborations, conference attendance or to supplement an RA position. Please see our case studies for more information.
The Fellowship is open to all staff who have taken a career break for the purposes of parental leave lasting for a minimum of 4 months.
Applications should provide information on what the funding will be used for and how it will contribute to an academic’s career following such leave.
Please contact Tania Galabova in the first instance for an application form and to discuss your application.
