External Opportunities

The Schools of the Physical Sciences and Technology would like to invite current undergraduate students who are in their penultimate year of their degree to apply for one of 10 eight-week paid internships which will take place in the summer of 2024 (Monday 8 July to Friday 30 August).

The Google DeepMind Research Ready programme is a summer internship programme offering insights into AI research to those from backgrounds under-represented in this field.  Run by the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology, it involves an 8-week research internship taking place between 8 July and 30 August 2024. 

Count Me In is a 6-week cohort-based research internship in Edinburgh for aspiring undergraduate students of mathematics. The aim is to show women and non-binary people, members of under-represented ethnic minorities in mathematics, people from a challenging socioeconomic background and  people with a disability, what it is like to do mathematics research. 

These Summer Research Experience Placements are targeted at student groups that are typically under-represented at Oxford, and within higher education pathways in general.  The programme will allow students to get valuable research experience, including those who normally need to work during the holidays.  They also give students the added opportunity to become familiar with an Oxford department and to network with staff and students.
