Student Summer Placement
2 weeks ago
About the Role
The QMUL Astronomy Unit offers the opportunity for undergraduate students, both internal to QMUL and external (from other universities), to join our research groups over the summer to take part in, and contribute to, the research being done by the different groups.
Research in the AU falls under three main themes: Cosmology & Relativity, Extrasolar Planets & Planet Formation, and Space & Astrophysical Plasmas, and each year we offer opportunities for students interested in these areas.
Each year, there will be events organised for the cohort of internship students to meet each other, interact, learn about each other's projects, and experience what working on cutting-edge research topics in a leading research group is like.
A (non-exhaustive) selection of projects:
- Machine learning for early universe inflation (Dr David Mulryne)
- Hunting for new physics with gravitational waves (Dr Scott Melville)
About You
You will currently be studying for a degree in Physics/Astronomy. You will have knowledge of areas of physics and/or astronomy relevant to the project, demonstrated by academic performance. You will be able to assist with conducting original research in the area of the research programme. You will also be able to work successfully as part of a team, towards a shared vision.
How to apply
Please prepare your application as a single PDF document containing the following elements:
- CV (detailing your academic achievements/experience and any other relevant expertise)
- Grade transcript(s).
- A statement of interests (include which project/s you are interested in).
Please upload this to the “CV” section of the online form.
About the Department
The Department of Physics and Astronomy maintains a tradition of outstanding research in ground-breaking fields. Our research is internationally excellent, with academic, research staff and students working in dedicated Research Centres in Experimental Particle Physics, Astrophysics, Condensed Matter, and Theoretical Physics.

In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
