Policy internship scheme 2018
The Academy of Medical Sciences’ Policy Internship Scheme offers 3rd and 4th year Wellcome Trust PhD students the opportunity to undertake a three-month internship at the Academy offices in central London.
Interns play a full and active role in influential policy activities undertaken by the Academy, often involving senior figures. They are supported by a three-month extension to their maintenance grant. A subsistence grant is also available to those studying outside of London.
During their time at the Academy, interns develop skills including policy research, networking, communicating with diverse audiences, using digital and social media, and the opportunity to work with senior academics from a wide range of disciplines. These skills are applicable to careers both inside and outside the lab.
Previous interns have said:
‘I got to take responsibility for projects and develop my own skills, and was treated like a true member of the team.’
‘I left the internship with much more confidence in my skills as a researcher and a communicator’
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 21 May 2018
