ARC NWC internships provide an opportunity for individuals employed by our member organisations, except those in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), who are interested in learning more about research or taking the next steps in their research career. An internship involves release from the workplace for up to a day a week, for up to a year to carry out a research project. Salary back-fill (a payment of up to £6,000) is provided to the intern’s employing organisation to assist with time release. During an internship, individuals receive supervisory and other support at the appropriate HEI. Interns have the benefit of working alongside other interns and researchers throughout the programme in a multidisciplinary environment. See the links below for examples of the type of internships we offer, and profiles for our previous and current interns.
