The Research Council Policy Internships Scheme provides an opportunity for PhD students funded by the Research Councils of UK Research and Innovation to work for three months in one of a selected group of highly influential organisations relevant to UK policy.
Successful applicants have the opportunity to work on one or more policy topics of interest to both the student and the organisation, by producing at least one briefing paper, participating in a policy inquiry and/or organising a policy event, or equivalent piece of work.
The Research Council Policy Internships Scheme is being coordinated by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) on behalf of all Research Councils. Please contact the NERC Talent and Skills Team with any questions: researchcareers@nerc.ukri.org
