Nature News/Summer 2021
Student placem We are pleased to have welcomed a record number of placements this year through the NERC (UKRI) Policy Internship scheme. Our increase in flexible working arrangements, albeit challenging, has meant that a greater number of students have had access to, and pursued, a broader range of opportunities. Those that joined us in the first half of 2021 have contributed to projects such as Nitrogen Futures and ITAPA (Integrating Tools for Air Pollution Assessment), and produced materials for the scientific council meeting that feeds into the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).
NERC will shortly announce the next round of the scheme for eligible doctoral students. We will share these announcements through our social media channels.
@JNCC_UK @JNCC @JNCCUK We are keen to hear from, and welcome, individuals from diverse backgrounds with a scientific or corporate skill-set, particularly those studying Finance or Accountancy. Our placements offer multiple benefits and are a great opportunity for staff to hone their coaching and mentoring capabilities. Students bring a fresh perspective to furthering our work, helping us to achieve our strategic goals. In return, they gain invaluable work experience to further their career development.
As an organisation we are committed to helping individuals shine and achieve their ambitions
