N8 CIR Part-Time Internship Programme (Winter 2025 – Spring 2026)
We are pleased to announce that N8 CIR has secured funding from EPSRC to run student internships from Michaelmas term through to March 2026. As a member of the N8 Research Partnership, the University of Liverpool will host at least four part-time interns. These internships will run during term time alongside full-time study, with each student receiving approximately £2,500 to support their participation.
Project Proposals Invited
We invite academics and Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) to submit proposals for internship projects that align with digital research infrastructure (DRI) investments. Example project themes include:
- Research projects working with academics on N8 themes: Digital Health, Digital Humanities, and Machine Learning (similar to N8 CIR summer internship programme)
- Projects inspired by the student cluster competition, enabling students to broaden their skills—for example, working with RSEs to provide proof-of-concept support for access to HPC testbeds
- Development of an impact narrative showcasing how DRI investments (such as Bede) benefit organisations
- Support for local HPC service with community engagement activities
