The NERC Research Experience Placement scheme
Research Experience Placements (REPs) are paid Summer internships for Home/EU undergraduates from any university studying Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computing, or other quantitative disciplines, who wish to gain experience of research in the Environmental Sciences.
Successful undergraduate applicants are paid a stipend of £200 per week for a placement of 8-10 weeks during the Universities' summer recess. Up to £500 funding is also available to supervisors to use for expenses incurred by the research project. Successful candidates will later be encouraged to apply for a NERC-funded PhD in the Environmental Sciences.
Applications are now closed for EnvEast's 2017 REP scheme.
Applicants may wish to consider the placements offered by the NEXUSS Centre for Doctoral Training (deadline 2 June 2017)
Prospective applicants (and particularly those not eligible for a NERC REP, perhaps) may also wish to consider UEA's Analytical Chemistry Summer Internship 2017: "Air-sea-ice interactions of greenhouse gases and their isotopologues".
If you would like to be emailed when EnvEast's applications open again (likely to be March 2018), please contact us: env.east@uea.ac.uk.
2. Choose up to two projects from the list below.
3. Apply by sending a CV (to include an academic referee) and covering letter to env.east@uea.ac.uk, by 27 May 2016. Separate covering letters should be sent for each project applied for.
One candidate for each project will be selected by supervisors to be put forward for a short interview by an independent panel at UEA in Norwich, on 10 June 2016. Telephone/Skype interviews will be available. At least four top ranked candidates will then be offered placements (possibly more if funding is available).
