Student opportunities | GenerationResearch

Your future in research starts here

GenerationResearch provides funded opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in research, policy and technical placements in STEMM subjects. Whether you're looking for a summer placement, a Masters by Research, or a PhD, these experiences help you build skills, strengthen your CV, and take confident steps toward a career in science.

We particularly encourage students from under‑represented groups to apply.

Summer Studentships

Students thinking about a career in STEMM have many routes available to them, involving further education (Masters and PhD), technical roles, the pharmaceutical industry, animal technology, lab and contract management, and grant funding to name just a few. Access to these careers starts with your degree, but can be greatly advanced by gaining first-hand experience of working in a laboratory or technical setting. This can be invaluable to add to your CV, give you a good focus in any interview, and is desirable for many potential employers.

Students from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.
