These internships will be full-time, for 3 months and are funded via a stipend from the DTP. UKRI students (or students funded by the constituent research councils) need to obtain the grant holder’s written permission to undertake the placement, outlining any funding arrangements, before a position can be offered. Please note there is no formal agreement in place between RI and UKRI, and each placement will be reviewed by the grant holder and approved at their discretion. The Ri currently offers opportunities for interns to work within our Digital Media team throughout the year and sometimes offers internships to assist with specific projects. Recent examples have included assisting with the CHRISTMAS LECTURES, the Big Bang Fair or assisting our Masterclass Programme. If you wish to discuss undertaking your PhD internship with the Ri, please get in touch via recruitment@ri.ac.uk.
