The Brilliant Club – PhD and ECR opportunities – 2022-23

The Brilliant Club is an award-winning university access charity. They recruit and train PhD
students and ECRs to support less advantaged school pupils access the most competitive
universities and succeed when they get there.

The Brilliant Club provides PhDs and ECRs training in widening participation, research
communication, and teaching. Researchers are then paid to deliver academically rigorous
programmes to small groups of pupils in state schools across the UK.

How does it work? 
There are two programmes researchers can get involved with: The Scholars Programme
and The Brilliant Tutoring Programme.

On The Scholars Programme, tutors are trained to create a course based on their own
academic research pitched at pupils in Key Stage 4 or 5. Tutors also have the opportunity
to deliver a pre-designed programme to younger pupils aged 8-10. They deliver this course
in university-style tutorials to groups of 7.

The Brilliant Tutoring Programme helps pupils who have been most impacted by Covid-19 to
catch up on lost learning. This programme focuses on core curriculum subjects (English,
Maths, Sciences) to help students regain confidence and is taught in groups of 4.

To help fit alongside their other commitments, tutors indicate their availability on a termly
basis. Placements are paid from £550 per placement, with an additional £121 for designing
a Scholars Programme course (plus London weighting). Travel expenses are also paid.
