The ESRC Student Internship Scheme provides current ESRC funded PhD students with the opportunity to spend up to six months in a non-academic organisation within the public, civil society (voluntary) or private sector where they can work as part of a team involved with policy and practice development.
The internship scheme provides both students and host organisations with a clear set of benefits and contributes to the skills and professional development of PhD students.
ESRC funded students looking to undertake an internship award during 2014 need to complete and submit an application form for each of the host organisation(s) you wish to apply to by the closing date on 18 October 2013.
You can apply to a maximum of two host organisations, and a maximum of two projects per host (up to four projects in total).
See the full list of internship opportunities, and details on how to apply.
