Applications for the Academy of Medical Sciences’ Grants & Programmes PhD Internship scheme are now open!
Scheme overview
The scheme will:
- Provide future researchers and academic leaders with a deeper understanding of the UK and international grant review process and career development support programmes, gaining a valuable insight into the wider funding landscape at a critical and exciting time.
- Allow interns to gain insights into all aspects of the Academy’s work and experience working in a non-research focussed organisation, including learning about the management of research funding, organising events, science communications and biomedical research policy.
- Allow interns to develop a wider network of contacts, both through their access to the Academy’s prestigious Fellowship and work with other Academy stakeholders, such as the UK National Academies.
- Provide opportunities for PhD students to develop valuable transferable skills and to enhance their CVs.
- The intern will be embedded within the Academy’s Careers Team and, as an early career researcher, will provide valuable perspective in the development of our schemes and programmes.
AMS are currently accepting applications for 12-week internships in late 2025 (October to December), and for 2026, starting in January.
