The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Future Fluid Dynamics, hosts an annual internship programme throughout summer. This opportunity is designed to enhance access to postgraduate research for individuals from underrepresented groups, supporting a more diverse and inclusive research community.

The programme allows prospective postgraduate researchers to gain first-hand experience of the research environment in fluid dynamics at the University of Leeds. This experience will assist them to help informed decisions around progression to PGR and to develop relevant knowledge, skills and experience that can strengthen their applications to research degree opportunities. The centre provides advanced training and research opportunities in the field of fluid dynamics, with the aim of equipping future academics and industry practitioners with the interdisciplinary skills required to tackle complex fluid-related challenges across a range of industrial and scientific sectors. Research areas are Engineering and Physical Sciences, Environment, Biological Sciences, or Medicine and Health.

This role will be based on the University campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Please upload a supporting statement (Word or PDF) with the following details:

• An introduction to yourself and a brief overview of why you are applying for your chosen project and the internship;
• An outline demonstrating how you meet all essential and desirable criteria in the job description. Please address each criterion separately, clearly referencing the specific criterion;
• A description of which widening participation criteria mentioned in the job description you satisfy.
