Deadline: Friday 24 February 2023

The Wales DTP is pleased to offer nine internship opportunities with the Welsh Government, working on specific projects covering a range of topics including employability and skills, diversity in public sector bodies in Wales and wellbeing and the historic environment.

The internships are open to any ESRC Wales DTP funded student (except those within 3 months of the start or end of their studentship).  It is anticipated that the internships will be conducted on a hybrid working basis, commencing in spring/summer 2023, for a period of 3-6 months (full-time or the part-time equivalent).  Successful applicants will get an extension to their PhD equivalent to the duration of the internship.

These internships will offer opportunities to create impact by contributing to the work of government, the chance to build relationships outside of academia, as well as the ability to develop research skills in a policy environment.

Full project descriptions are available in the below documents:

Please submit your completed application form to enquiries@walesdtp.ac.uk by 4pm on the day of the deadline.
