Description

Role

 
This internship programme offers an immersive research experience for two undergraduate nursing students in their 1st or 2nd year of study. Hosted primarily by University of Staffordshire, the programme provides a unique blend of academic and clinical research exposure, with planned clinical research days at the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust.
 
The successful interns will contribute to a live research project focused on exploring the barriers and enablers to research placements for racially minoritised nursing students at universities in the West Midlands. While the study specifically focusses on racially minoritised nursing students, we welcome applicants from all ethnic backgrounds who have a strong interest in research and are passionate about contributing to the project’s goals. Interns will actively participate in all phases of the research process, including participant recruitment, data collection, and analysis.
 
Interns will receive direct supervision from the Principal Investigator and be supported by the wider research team throughout this programme. This internship provides hands-on research experience and supports the academic and professional development of aspiring nurse researchers.
