We are calling for academics to get involved with the Nuffield Research Placements 2015, a scheme for students in first year of Post-16 education.

What does Nuffield Research Placement Require?

You will need to be able to host a student in your institution for 4-6 weeks over the summer period July/August 2015. Dates vary depending on your availability, and projects will be arranged to suit your workload.

During the time the student is with you, they should be assigned a genuine research project which contributes to your on-going work, and gives them a real insight into scientific research.

Students can also make a contribution to your ongoing projects, providing extra support to help initiate, progress or complete work programmes.
