Internships

During the summer months, we have internships and summer placement opportunities available in teams throughout the Royal Society of Chemistry. These placements offer undergraduate students and graduates the opportunity to gain work experience that helps toward developing a career in science without working in the lab.

These placements are not always open for applications. To find out what opportunities are currently available and sign up for job alerts, please visit our current vacancies page.
