BDI Summer Internship Programme 2022

BDI/NDPH building

The 2022 BDI Summer Internship Programme will take place between July and September. Students will work with health data scientists in the Big Data Institute (BDI) to get a flavour of the breadth of research undertaken at this interdisciplinary institute. BDI researchers work on data acquisition, curation, computation and analysis pipelines (either in specific medical domains or on more general methodological and technical innovations), as well as in relevant areas of ethics, governance and policy.

The BDI will offer three internships in 2022, aimed at second or third year undergraduates or Master students. Please check the project details for more information and selection criteria.

Apply

Please send a covering letter and a CV to the BDI Training and Development Coordinator by 6 May 2022.

The BDI will offer three paid (rate £13.49/per hour) internships in 2022.

Please note that in order to be eligible, you must be a student at a UK university, or a UK citizen studying abroad.
