Applying for the Academic Intern Track: a practical workshop

Thinking about applying for the academic track this cycle, or in a year or two? This is a practical evening on how the application actually works, from someone who went through it last year and got a post.

We'll cover:

• How the written application is scored, and where the marks are
• Finding a project you can finish in 12 weeks, and a supervisor to go with it
• What the interview looks like and how to prepare for it

Then open Q&A for as long as there are questions, and time at the end to work on your own draft with me on hand. Bring whatever you have so far, a project idea, your “why academic track” answer or your CV. A worksheet will be provided.
