N8 CIR Internships 2025
We are excited to announce the launch of its Summer Internship Scheme for undergraduate students across its member universities. This initiative offers a unique opportunity for students to engage in cutting-edge computer science projects spanning machine learning, digital health, and digital humanities.
Internship Overview
The programme offers one internship position in the three focus areas at each of the eight N8 universities: machine learning, digital health, and digital humanities. Each project will be supervised by a researcher and a research software engineer, ensuring comprehensive mentorship and support. The internships will run for 8 weeks, providing students with invaluable hands-on experience in research environments. These internships will provide a stipend of £3500 for each student.
Interns will have opportunities to meet up in person to learn and network across the N8 universities, and will present their work to supervisors and interns at the Internship Showcase in September 2025.
Benefits for Interns
Interns will have the chance to:
- Enhance their coding and technical skills through practical applications
- Gain firsthand experience of research methodologies and the software engineering field.
- Collaborate with leading academics and professionals in the field.
- Contribute to impactful projects with real-world applications.
The successful candidates for these internships will be confirmed in May 2025 and announced here in June.
EPSRC funded programme, 2024
The N8 CIR hosted 24 internships across the N8 universities in the summer of 2024. These projects varied in design and covered all three key themes of digital health, digital humanities, and machine learning.
You can find the list of research projects and a news article on the Showcase where students presented their work in September 2024 in York.
