Opportunity Details
In this new round of recruitment, they are offering a range of new internship opportunities in the financial, agricultural, justice, AI safety and data-centric engineering sectors
The Alan Turing Internship wants to attract a diverse pool of partners and applicants and they are committed to making the process accessible and inclusive.
They are working with their existing and prospective business partners to provide internships that can accommodate different working arrangements. This includes but is not limited to part-time and flexible working options; accommodating interns on a student visa, and remote working.
They welcome applications from all under-represented groups and from all universities based in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, or who have taken a career break prior to their PhD. Applicants can be of any nationality (unless otherwise stated in the specific internship requirements) providing they have the right to work in the UK.
All applications will be considered on their merit and project suitability. No applicants will be treated unfairly on any grounds including but not limited to age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marital status, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
When assessing applicants to shortlist them for interviews with the TIN partners and collaborators, they will look at the following areas:
- Motivation: The interest of the applicant in the role they are applying for.
- Knowledge and previous experience: The experience the applicant brings to the role.
- Skills: The skillset that will help the candidate perform well in the role.
- Goals: What the applicant hopes to learn and achieve during the internship and the benefits for their research.
How to apply
- Applicants must discuss the scheme with their supervisor and university department to gain their approval to participate and pause their PhD if offered an internship.
- Applicants apply directly to the Turing through their Flexigrant application system. The application form will ask for the role they wish to apply for and will give them the option to apply for a second role that they would like to be considered for if they are not shortlisted for their first choice. The Turing Internship Network Team also reserve the right to suggest other internship roles based on the submitted application.
- The application form will also ask details about the PhD research project and your goals and interest in applying for an internship in line with the assessment criteria.
- They encourage applicants to carefully read the internship role descriptions published on the website.
- Before starting an application, they also encourage applicants to research information about the organisation offering the role, learn about the culture and the work they do and think about how your knowledge and skills meet the requirements listed under the ‘Person Specification’ section. Applicants should also reflect on their previous experience (study, work, volunteer) and come up with examples that demonstrate how well they can cover the responsibilities listed in the role description.
If you are an international student studying in the UK on a visa, please read the Information for International Students document.
Benefits of Alan Turing Internship Network
The Turing aims to train the next generation of data scientists and the Turing Internship Network allows us to link businesses, governmental organizations, charities and NGOs to those researchers who wish to apply their research expertise and technical skills to tackle real-world challenges and gain new skills in a business setting. Through TIN students can also establish professional connections in an industry of their interest and explore future employment opportunities outside of academia.
