After the success of last year's summer research studentships, The Joseph Rufino Cordeiro Foundation (the “Foundation”) is looking for up to 5 talented students to support with fully funded JRCF Studentships in sustainable chemistry over July and August this year.
For the second year, the Foundation will support 6- to 8-week research placements in the Department of Chemistry. The programme is designed to provide students in the UK and Europe (particularly any group that is currently under-represented in chemistry research environments) with the opportunity to pursue Sustainable Chemistry research at the University of Oxford.
The grants will:
- Give you the opportunity to experience postgraduate research at the University of Oxford.
- Enable you to undertake exciting research and inspire you to pursue postgraduate study and a career in Sustainable Chemistry.
- Improve your research and transferrable skills.
- Give you access to advice on further study and research careers.
We intend to offer up to 5 JRCF Studentships in 2024. The studentships will provide successful candidates with £16.60/hour for up to 35 hours/week (that is, up to £4,648, subject to any statutory deductions) for a defined period of up to 8 weeks in July and August. Paid-for accommodation in Worcester College, Oxford, during this time will also be included.
For more information, and to apply, see the Call for Applications and Application Form. Any questions should be directed to Sue Henderson.
