Student/Graduate Intern Researcher

Science and Environment

We are the University of Cumbria, a place where people are at the heart of all we do, where enriching the lives of our students, staff and the communities we serve means we make a difference that really matters.

This is an exciting opportunity for a graduate or current student of the University of Cumbria to gain valuable work experience through an internship with a local company. You will be employed by the University, but work with NuGreen to provide the research required to investigate their carbon footprint and support a transition to zero carbon.

You will be proactive, logical and self-motivated with the ability to undertake desk-based research and present results. We expect you to have strong research and communication skills and an interest in supporting the transition to net zero carbon along with experience of carbon accounting.

The post is part time for a total of up to 140 hours and the overall project is to be completed June 2023. This is a flexible working opportunity, which can fit around student studies and work/home life commitments.

This role will involve remote working with occasional/ potential travel to Carlisle and Kirby Lonsdale for meetings – COVID-19 restrictions may apply. Reasonable travel expenses will be paid and there is also the opportunity for the successful candidate to apply to the University of Cumbria’s Bright Futures fund for a travel bursary to help with travel expenses if required (£100 allowance available).
