The STS Newsroom is a group of students, working one day a week for 10 weeks during Term 3 and slightly thereafter. They create news content about the department that will be used in the department鈥檚 outward communication. This will include written content for the STS magazine, Alchemy, and the STS podcast series, WeAreSTS. Mentoring will be available throughout the studentship.
Those wishing to apply for any of the听studentship opportunities must submit a one-page CV plus a one-page personal statement describing why they are a good fit for the specific project. In addition, please provide the name of one academic referee who can be asked to advise during the selection process. Applicants must submit a customised personal statement for each project they wish to be considered for.
Letters of application, CV and personal statements must be received no later than 17:00 (UK Time) on Wednesday, 20th听March. These must be sent by email to Victoria Mounsey: v.mounsey@ucl.ac.uk. Please include the word 鈥渟tudentship鈥 in the subject line of your email.
