Research Experience Scheme

Projects

You can view our list of supervisors and projects (.pdf) to find out more about the opportunities available for Autumn 2019. We advertise new opportunities at the start of each term.

How to apply

Places are limited and so the scheme is highly competitive.

Email your application to Dr Rael Dawtry (rjdawt@essex.ac.uk, RES organiser). Your email must include: 

1. A one page CV in Word or PDF format attached to the email.
2. A list of any members of staff you would like to work with, in order of preference, with your preferred choice at the start of the list (you can list as many of the staff as you like from the list below).
3. For each member of staff on your list of preferences, attach a separate short letter (in Word or PDF format) in which you explain your interest in the research project and motivation for working with the researcher.

Other ways to gain research experience

Our University runs an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme, which gives you the opportunity to apply for research placements in various departments.
