GENDER.ED Undergraduate Intern and PhD Assistant Programme

 

GENDER.ED’s Undergraduate Intern and PhD Assistant Programme provides students at the University of Edinburgh the opportunity to experience and engage with the diverse research, teaching, and knowledge exchange work on gender and sexualities at the University, as well as partners beyond campus. Interns and assistants hold key responsibilities within GENDER.ED’s Communications and Events Team, gaining knowledge and experiences to expand their interests in gender and sexuality studies as well as having the chance to develop critical and invaluable kills and knowledge that will prove useful beyond the scope of this internship, and into their future careers and pathways. 

Students passionate about gender and sexuality studies and looking towards further experience in the field beyond what the classroom provides are encouraged to apply for available positions – information of which is advertised through the University of Edinburgh’s job site, and Employ.ed for PhD Researchers.
