Research Fellow in Qualitative Methods / Early Childhood

The role

Sheffield Hallam is offering 16 supervised research experience projects over the summer of 2025, across a range of subject areas.

A research experience internship will provide you with hands-on experience of conducting academic research and is an opportunity for you to increase your subject knowledge and research skills. It will also help you to make a more informed choice about postgraduate research study.

The projects are available for up to 210 hours (6 weeks at 35 hours/week) between June and August. Projects may also be available on a part-time basis. The exact dates of the project and working pattern should be agreed between the supervisor and the successful candidate.

For eligible candidates, some of this year’s internships may be delivered through the University’s involvement in the collaborative  

Yorkshire Consortium for Equity in Doctoral Education

(YCEDE) project. This project aims to address access and participation in postgraduate research (PGR) study and has a focus on UK (Home student status) Black, Asian and minority ethnic students who are underrepresented in PGR study.

Eligibility

These internships are open to students in undergraduate or postgraduate taught education who are interested in studying for a postgraduate research degree, or individuals not currently in higher education but who are thinking about returning to study for a postgraduate research degree.

Applicants must have right to work in the UK.

Sheffield Hallam welcomes applications from all candidates irrespective of age, pregnancy and maternity, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, or marital or civil partnership status.

For these roles we particularly welcome applications from minority ethnic applicants who are underrepresented in this area at Sheffield Hallam.

The role is not eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route so if you are an international applicant, you will need to ensure you have an appropriate visa to evidence the necessary right to work in the UK.
