The Open Innovation Team - PhD placement opportunities in HM Government
The Open Innovation Team is a cross-government unit which supports policy makers across government by gathering and synthesising academic evidence and insight.
For years now, PhD students have played an important role in helping us deliver policy projects, working alongside experienced officials, academics and other experts to deliver the highest quality analysis and advice to colleagues across government.
Our PhD placements run all year, with two recruitment rounds in June and October. We usually have 6-8 PhD students working alongside our permanent staff at any one time. Placements normally last three months, with around 30 placement opportunities each year.
Successful applicants can expect to work on a diverse range of policy projects and are not expected to have prior experience of policy or knowledge of the policy area they are asked to work on.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds - diversity of thought and experience is one of the many strengths of our team.
The deadline for applications for this opportunity is 23:59 on 18 June 2023.
