The Francis Crick Institute's applications for their February and April Work Experience Placements are now open!
These opportunities are designed for students interested in experiencing a range of roles across our research institute—not just in the lab.
For our February and April placements, we are offering a wide range of operational placements in areas like IT, communications, and HR.
These placements provide students with the chance to gain valuable experience in various office-based roles.
Who We Are Looking For
We welcome applications from students of all academic levels and backgrounds.
Our aim is to create a supportive, inclusive experience that gives students from diverse backgrounds a meaningful introduction to a professional environment.
We especially encourage those who might not typically consider a research setting or those who may benefit from additional support.
Our goal is to be a bridge, helping students gain confidence and skills for the future.
About the Placements
The placements will run for one week, with start dates on:
17 February 2025

What We Are Offering:
Insightful Learning: An opportunity to explore a variety of operational roles within a leading research institute.
Hands-On Experience: Each placement is tailored to provide practical skills and insights into real-world settings.
Diverse Opportunities: Students will gain exposure to areas such as legal, IT, human resources, translation, public engagement, building maintenance, equality and diversity, research communications, service delivery, and philanthropy.
