The Hydro-JULES intern programme offers students from hydrology and environmental science backgrounds the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working at UKCEH alongside a diverse and collaborative team of Hydro-JULES scientists. 

Successful applicants have the unique opportunity to contribute to significant scientific advancements while advancing their own academic and professional careers.

Being an HJ Intern offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Hands-On Experience: Internships provide practical experience in your field, allowing you to apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations.
  • Skill Development: Internships help you develop both technical and soft skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and time management, which are valuable in any career.
  • Networking Opportunities: Internships allow you to connect with professionals in your industry, building relationships that can lead to future job opportunities and mentorship.
  • Career Exploration: Interning gives you the chance to explore different career paths and industries, helping you identify your interests and strengths.
  • CV Enhancement: Having an internship on your resume demonstrates to potential employers that you have relevant experience and are proactive in your career development.
  • Increased Confidence: Gaining experience and receiving feedback in a professional setting can boost your confidence in your abilities.
  • Potential for Employment: Many internships lead to job offers, as employers often hire interns who have proven their value and fit within a company.
  • Insight into Research Culture: Interning gives you a firsthand look at UK CEHs culture and work environment, helping you determine if it’s the right fit for you.
  • Mentorship and Guidance: Internships include opportunities to work closely with experienced professionals who can offer valuable advice and guidance.

Hydro-JULES Internship Project Presentations - August 2024

This year’s interns have undertaken a wide range of research projects that have showcased the diversity of environmental science within UK CEH. With backgrounds in various academic fields, our five interns have spent the last six weeks deeply engaged in their projects. They’ve had opportunities to conduct fieldwork, create content for short films, and collaborate with experts in their research areas, develop their skills and grow their confidence.
 

You can now listen to the recordings to see and hear how our talented interns have progressed, view their presentations, and see the impressive work they have accomplished during their time at UK CEH.

I really found it useful seeing the working of the workplace with project hours etc and very much enjoyed seeing how data science and statistics is applied to different fields.
- Daniel Cooper, UEA

The project was interesting and provided an opportunity to chat with people that I knew from my PhD, as well an opportunity to meet another research environment.  Doran and Amula have been great supervisors on all matters, from technical knowledge to help with my integration with the workgroup and workplace. My advisors Gianni and Matt, have also been involved in the project  and have supported me with technical knowledge when needed.
 - Felipe Fileni, U. Newcastle

Congratulations to both Felipe and Danny for all the work they managed to achieve in their short time at UKCEH and for their excellent presentations.
