South Coast DTP Research Assistant Placements 

Recruitment closed

Project title: South Coast DTP Research Assistant Placements

Application deadline: 13/02/2026

Date of placement: varies

The South Coast DTP is introducing a Research Assistant Placement (RAP) scheme where academics from our partner universities offer Research Assistant projects with openings for ESRC DTP-funded students to do their Research in Practice placement.

The opportunities were open to the SCDTP initially and are now extend to the wider DTP network, including ESRC funded LISS DTP students.

Please note that you are NOT permitted to do a placement with your own department or supervision team.

How to apply:
  • ESRC funded students should initially apply for the RAP supervisor following the application requirements for the project. This is usually a CV and covering letter sent directly to the PI. Any further requirements listed in the individual project details.
  • If selected, students should then follow the internship/placement approval process from their home DTP and obtain this approval BEFORE commencing the internship. See How to apply for your Research in Practice Placement for the SCDTP process.
