ERA is an initiative which is working to improve the representation of underrepresented groups, retain diverse talent and create an inclusive environment for all in higher education institutions.
ERA studentships provide you with the opportunity to get hands on research experience. You will be able to design a project with a supervisor of your choosing and write a research proposal. The work you conduct during this studentship will contribute towards research output e.g., a research paper, conference submission and/or internal presentation. This is fantastic opportunity for you to grow your research interest and cultivate your research network.
ERA studentships provide the opportunity to gain valuable research experience in a laboratory at SGUL, with the intention of encouraging students to consider a career in research.
The initiative is open to undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds, who are in the final year of their degree.
If you receive a university bursary and/or are registered with the disability service and/or are from an ethnic minority background, you are eligible to apply.
The placements will take place between June – September. You will agree on a start date with your supervisor.
You will receive a stipend at the same level as Wellcome Trust Studentships (£250 per week). The host laboratory will also be provided with funding to cover the cost of consumables and/or research output.
Look at the project list below and choose a topic. Contact the supervisor to create a project proposal. Then, complete the e-form below.
You will be considered primarily on the basis of the application form, not previous academic performance. Applications will be marked by judges. Once you have been shortlisted, you will be invited for a short informal interview before the final decision is delivered.
If you are interested in taking on either a 2 week work shadowing placement or studentship with a lab host that is not on the project list, please contact them directly regarding this opportunity. Once you have agreed on a project and start date with them, please document these details in your ERA application form below.
